What is Interactive Video and other Frequently Asked Questions
What is Interactive Video and how can I make it?
Interactive videos are about much more than just buttons on videos to show popups and link to products. They are about journeys, experiences, scenarios – and above all, conversations with your audience.
Traditional videos let viewers press play, pause and stop – that’s it. Interactive video takes it further by creating different paths for viewers to take or adding clickable links to other pages and resources. Once you starting looking into it, there are so many ways for people to engage with a video.
Recent studies have shown that the more interactive you make your video, the more engaging it will be. So whether you are making video for marketing, sales or learning, there are plenty of advantages to going interactive.
Stornaway’s design is unique in that it lets you easily see and craft your whole user journey, with our visual Story Map interface.
