Add timeline-based hotspots to video steps for enhanced interactivity — guide viewers, highlight key moments, and make your video demos more engaging.
Timeline-based hotspots on videos allow you to overlay hotspots on video steps at specific timestamps. These hotspots can guide viewers, highlight features, or add context exactly when it's most relevant.
Unlike static annotations, video hotspots appear at precise moments in your video timeline — making your demos more dynamic and engaging.
Open the demo containing your video step and select the video step you wish to edit.
Click the Edit button to modify the video.
(Optional) Use the splitting or trimming tool to remove unwanted parts — right-click and select Split Here, or drag the edges of the timeline to trim.
Hover over any timestamp on the timeline where you want to add a hotspot.
Click to add a hotspot and choose the hotspot type you'd like to use.
Reposition and edit the hotspot on the canvas as needed.
(Optional) Drag the edges of a pause timeline hotspot to convert it into a duration timeline hotspot that stays visible across a range.
Customize the styling of the hotspot to match your branding.
Click Apply to save your hotspot settings.
Repeat for other moments in the video where you want hotspots.
Click Save to preserve your changes.
Click Share or Preview to see your video demo with interactive hotspots.
💡 Tip: Plan your hotspot placements before editing — identify key moments where annotations will add the most value.
