FAQs

Click a question to learn more about adding a video step to your program.

How does a Video step look to my participants?

Having a dedicated video step allows participants to see the title, description, cover photo and video length. If the 'Autoplay next video step' is enabled, they'll also see an "Up next" prompt for the next video.

What's the difference between including a video in an Article step and adding a Video step?

While you can add videos to an article, the features are limited. Using the Video step, however, offers exclusive features such as adding a cover photo, setting a required viewing percentage, and enabling automatic playback for subsequent video steps.

What happens if a participant exits the video and returns at a later time?

If a participant exits the video and returns at a later time, they will need to start watching from the beginning.

Can I view Video step stats for my participants?

Currently, it is not possible to view Video step stats for participants. However, you can require them to watch a set percentage of each video step to ensure engagement, even without specific stats.

Can my participants download the video?

No. Program participants cannot download the video. They can only view it within the program step.
