In the learner's view

The question appears exactly when the idea matters.

Playback pauses, the learner answers inside the video, and feedback arrives immediately. Every response and completion is ready for you in analytics.

Go from a YouTube URL to a fully interactive, trackable learning experience in minutes.

1PASTE

Paste a URL or upload a video

Questions? Answered.

Is Interakly free?

Yes — every feature is free during early access. Unlimited video uploads, up to 40 minutes each. No credit card required, no expiration.

Do viewers need an account to watch?

No. Viewers can watch and answer questions without signing up. Each viewer gets an anonymous session token so their responses are tracked.

Which YouTube videos work with Interakly?

Public or unlisted YouTube videos can work when the owner allows embedding and YouTube makes the video available to the embedded player. Interakly uses that player without downloading or re-hosting the video.

Can I upload my own videos?

Yes. Upload any MP4 (lectures, screen recordings, training footage, anything) up to 40 minutes long. Uploads are unlimited per day and resumable — they pick up where they left off if your wifi drops. Videos play smoothly anywhere with adaptive quality, signed playback URLs, password protection, and access controls.

What types of interactions can I add?

YouTube videos support timestamped questions, polls, matching, ordering, open responses, info cards, timed calls to action, and more as interactions over the video. Uploaded videos also support spatial activities such as hotspots and full branching scenarios.

Can I see how individual viewers performed?

Yes. Each viewing session is tracked with response data, time spent per question, and a final score. The analytics dashboard shows per-question breakdowns, completion rates, score distributions, and CSV exports.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with secure authentication and access controls throughout.
