Interactive Video Block

Want more interactivity for your video courses? Start by creating an Interactive Video using our Interactive Video Block.

Here are the two ways you can achieve this:

1. Transform any video into an Interactive Video Block (videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or VideoPress.)
2. Insert a new Interactive Video Block right from the start.

Tutorial: Transforming a YouTube Video Block into an Interactive Video Block

For example, to transform a YouTube video into an Interactive Video Block, follow these steps:

1. Add a new block to your post or page by clicking the “+” button.
2. In the block search bar, search for “Interactive Video” and select “Interactive Video Block”.
3. Once the Interactive Video Block is added, select the video placeholder image.
4. Doing that should show options to upload a video or insert it from a URL. Select the option to ‘Insert from URL.
5. You will see an input field to add the YouTube video URL. Paste your YouTube video URL there. You should then see your YouTube video appear within the block but with the additional features for setting breakpoints provided by the Sensei Interactive Blocks plugin.
6. You can now start adding interactive elements like breakpoints directly on the video timeline.

Transforming any video into an Interactive Video Block

Have an existing video on your page, or you’ve just added one? All you have to do is click on the “Add Break Points to the video” icon as shown in the image below and done, now you have an Interactive Video Block ready to go.

An alternative way is also to click on the video icon you embedded and select from the drop-down the “Interactive Video” option. Here’s how it looks:

Insert a new Interactive Video Block right from the start

You can also start with an Interactive Video the same way you would insert a regular video on your page. Start by typing “/inter…” and the Interactive Video block should show up as an option.

Adding Break Points

Once you have an Interactive Video Block you can start adding as many Break Points as you need for your students.

We didn’t limit the content in any way, so you can add normal content as well as:

• Quiz questions and check student learning before continuing a video.
• Enable video course progression and require videos to be watched to complete a lesson.
• Use the required blocks feature to make individual break points in a video be interacted with to continue playback.
• With block visibility, hide or show different videos in course sales pages and lessons based on if the user has completed a course, is logged in, and more.
