Video selection
If you have one corporate video, the choice is quickly made. But if you have multiple videos, then list the function of each video. For example, a video can be educational or informative, but also position a product or want to encourage the viewer to take a follow-up action. To start, choose a video that lends itself best to making interactive.
Are you planning to add simple calls to action to the video, such as a link to the website or a form? Then you can easily add the interactive elements afterwards. If you really want to add interaction within the video, then it is useful to think in advance about how you can divide the video into parts.
Add interactivity
Once you have determined the function of your video, it is important to add interaction. Is the video intended to make the viewer take action? Then give the viewer the opportunity to do so during or after the video. This can be done, for example, with a button with a link or a form.
