What's new in Interakly

You can now support Interakly with an optional tip through Ko-fi. Contributions help cover hosting, video delivery, AI features and continued development while Interakly has no subscription fee.

• Find Support Interakly at the top of your creator workspace, on pricing and about pages, and in the site footer
• Choose a one-time tip or monthly support on Ko-fi; giving is always optional
• Your lesson stays open while Ko-fi opens in a separate tab

YouTube videos embedded in lessons now keep a stable size at fractional browser zoom, including the live homepage lesson. Recorded answers show their feedback and Continue button immediately.

• Fixed a sizing loop where a nested scrollbar could repeatedly appear and disappear before playback
• Kept the video inside its intended aspect ratio as the lesson resizes
• Removed an animation dependency that could leave an accepted answer showing Checking in an embedded or background player
• Preserved the current video, playback position and saved answer during layout updates

Image questions now stay readable on small screens and keep the same answer when a connection drops. Creators can review AI placements before adding them, edit image details on phones, and publish a stable version for learners.

• Retry an interrupted answer without consuming another attempt; Click Region keeps remaining attempts available
• Sequence, Label Image, questions, and reflections offer an explicit retry and preserve unfinished work while exploring
• Question panels, tours, and journey navigation keep readable text and reachable controls in compact frames
• Removing, restoring, or duplicating a Tapestry includes its linked questions as one operation
• AI image requests recover their original result after an interrupted acknowledgement; confirmed failed generations restore AI credits
• Review and select suggested hotspots before they are added together; retrying the same addition does not create duplicates
• Title and image-description saves acknowledge the actual saved values and protect edits made in another editor
• Save draft edits, then choose Update live image to release them; newly published lessons retain the exact image version they included
• A refresh recovers accepted answers in the same account and image version for up to 24 hours; expired attempts offer a fresh start

Turn your source material into a clearer explanation, a simpler version, or a question with supporting evidence. Create and refine diagrams where you are building your lesson, review the result, and add it when it is ready.

• Writing suggestions and checks are free and remain editable after you add them
• Choose a labeled diagram, process, timeline, comparison, concept illustration, or a chart based on your supplied data
• Choose the audience and language, then review the picture and its description for students and screen readers
• Reopening diagram generation recovers the saved request, settings, and description; failed generations restore your allowance
• Image generation now uses Google's current stable model, including the Composer and lesson covers

Lesson Studio now finishes saving your lesson and title before publishing or leaving. Students can resume saved answers after a refresh, while your preview plays interactive video without creating learner results.

• Studio toolbar controls, Save and Retry stay reachable on phones; offline navigation keeps unsaved edits in Studio
• Save or cancel an open question before switching questions, previewing, or publishing
• Media creation recovers interrupted requests and attaches to the selected position without overwriting later edits
• Delete and Undo preserve edits you make afterward; oversized edits explain the limit before they disrupt saving
• AI lesson builds wait for source extraction and distinguish a changed source or video choice from a retry
• Learner section navigation, long text, question feedback, and preview controls fit small screens
• A republished lesson resets the current encounter to its new version; withdrawn lessons stop showing stale content
• New attempts stay tied to the lesson version on screen, and unavailable lessons cannot receive a new completion
• Publishing and taking a lesson offline cannot run together; authoring pauses until the change settles

Creating, placing, and saving interactive video questions now recovers more reliably from temporary failures. Preview follows the same scoring, question attempts, and completion rules as learner playback.

• Retrying a failed YouTube request in the same form recovers the original draft
• Completed uploads survive temporary status-check failures and resume confirmation after reopening the editor
• Fractional question times are preserved, invalid times are explained, and duplicates stay within the video
• On-frame questions can be arranged on phones, and Sequence and Launch Check include main-video questions
• Settings finish saving before you leave, Undo and Redo handle slow responses, and Copy confirms success honestly
• Preview includes below-video questions, visited branches, extra attempts, and grades awaiting review, without saving learner results
• Prevent skipping also applies to forward keyboard shortcuts

Analytics now includes Activities, keeps grades awaiting review separate from final results, and gives you clear recovery options when a report cannot load. Content names and results remain readable on smaller screens.

• CSV exports include the available history and preserve learner identities beyond the first page
• Pending grades are clearly labeled and excluded from final averages and passing totals
• All time charts include older activity, and historical answers are checked consistently across reports
• Failed refreshes and page loads offer a retry while keeping available results visible
• Unscored image questions appear before their first answer
• Passing rates use finalized scores with configured targets, and mixed targets no longer create a misleading pass line

Fixed analytics that could fail to open when answers contained symbols or non-English text, and rendering that could stop before creating a video. Lesson builds now recover saved work after a lost connection, and temporary render startup failures retry automatically.

• Reopen a stopped lesson build to recover its saved draft or continue without unavailable video questions
• Videos with a known language mismatch are excluded, and unverified spoken language needs your confirmation
• Saved compositions keep their questions when you reopen a failed first render
• Unusable AI question drafts retry automatically; failed generations restore your allowance

Fixed an issue that could leave AI interaction generation stuck while checking a YouTube video's duration. Interakly now retries temporary failures automatically and checks YouTube directly if needed.

• Failed duration checks do not use your AI generation allowance
• If you saw the blocked-check error, refresh Interakly, reopen your video, and click Generate interactions again
• If a check still fails, a clear message tells you when to try again

Add any published Activity to a Lesson so students can play without leaving the page. Activity attempts, scores, and analytics stay with the Activity while Lesson progress stays focused on its own questions.

Writing a question in the video composer now keeps every word you type, and rendering tells you honestly where it is — working, finished, or what went wrong, in plain language.

• The interaction menu is fully visible instead of hiding behind the timeline
• Voice recordings save as narration you can lay under your video
• Questions land at the right moment even when clips crossfade
• Re-rendering keeps your on-frame card placements, and "Edit composition" is back in the editor

Build a book your class reads on any device. Start from a ready-made template, then write your own pages and drop in the pictures, videos and questions that belong with them.

• Begin with a template and rewrite it as your own
• Mix in your interactive images, videos, activities and questions
• Let a page branch, so readers choose where to go next
• Share one link, or embed the book in your class site

Add a book to any lesson and your class reads it right there on the lesson page. Once the lesson is published, students keep reading the exact version you published, so you can keep editing the book freely.

If a Match Sprint, Sky Climb, or Word Hunt board has too few or too many items to play as a game, the editor now tells you while you're building it instead of quietly showing your class a plain question.

Drop a game straight into your LMS or class website, the same way you already embed a video, lesson or pathway.

An embedded lesson or pathway no longer carries the Interakly site menu and footer into your page, and signing in no longer takes students away from what they were doing.

Add Match Sprint, Sky Climb or Word Hunt straight into a lesson, or type a topic and have one drafted for you to review.

Add a picture to a lesson by uploading it, dragging it in, picking one from your library, or searching free stock photos — instead of only pasting a link.

Publishing an Activity no longer locks it for editing. You can keep changing wording, feedback, and points anytime — once learners start answering, the graded content locks in to keep everyone's results comparable.

• Edit freely even after publishing, as long as no one has answered yet
• Wording, feedback, and points stay editable after answers start coming in
• Duplicate an Activity in one click to teach a revised version to a new group

Clearing a Sky Climb tower now takes you to a finish screen with a clear way to continue, instead of getting stuck. Any images you added to your items now show up on the tower and in the list you're building from.

Match Sprint and Sky Climb now shuffle a different board for every learner, so answers can't be memorized or copied from someone else's screen. Reloading mid-game keeps your own board exactly as it was.

Questions now open in one focused, cohesive stage with large tappable answers and a clear finish.

• Works on Multiple Choice, True/False, Fill in the Blank, Poll, Rating Scale, and Numeric Input
• Applied automatically so creators can focus on the question instead of styling every row
• No question countdown: only deliberately timed games use countdown pacing
• Scoring, feedback, and retakes work exactly as before

A fast pair-matching game break for your videos — learners race to connect terms with their meanings, then the lesson rolls on.

• Add it from the interaction picker and edit pairs like any matching question
• Let AI draft pairs from what your video just covered, then review before saving
• Sprint against the clock or play an untimed Zen mode — speed never changes the score
• See plays, fastest and typical clear times, and flawless-run rates in your video analytics

Turn any image into an interactive lesson — drop hotspots, questions, guided tours, and styled labels right on top of a picture, then share or embed it anywhere.

• Upload a photo or generate one with AI
• Place info hotspots, questions, ratings, guided tours, and labels
• Learners explore on any device — no account needed
• Embed it on any website or LMS with a single snippet

Choice points can now appear at any moment in a video - offer paths to other videos at 0:10, or let viewers simply keep watching.

A new Analytics section brings your interactive videos and Pathways together in one place. Track engagement over time, see how scores are distributed, spot where learners drop off, and jump straight to the questions that need attention.

• Engagement and retention trends across all your content
• Score distribution and a learner drop-off funnel
• Shortcuts to your hardest questions and the content that needs attention

Make your videos fully your own. Pro creators can add their own logo and hide Interakly branding for a clean, branded experience from start to finish.

• Your logo on the player, intro, and score screen
• Your logo on password, email, and access screens
• Interakly links removed when branding is turned off

Two new ways to check understanding: Drag the Words, where learners drag words into the right blanks, and Mark the Words, where they click to highlight the right words in a passage of text.

Build a complete lesson page around your video. Add formatted text, images, and self-contained quiz blocks below the player instead of just showing the video on its own.

• Rich text with formatting, colors, and links
• Drag-and-drop image blocks
• Inline quiz blocks: multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, ordering, and numeric

Viewers can discuss a video in a threaded comment section below the player, with replies, likes, and pinned highlights. Creators get full moderation, including approving comments before they appear.

Save any video to return to later with a Save button on the watch page and a Saved tab in your library.

Let viewers retry a whole quiz or just specific questions, with clearer hints about when a retake is available and friendlier feedback along the way.

A batch of smaller improvements across the viewing and creating experience.

• Click-to-jump transcript panel beneath the player
• A Continue Watching strip to pick up where you left off
• Scrub through a video to choose a custom thumbnail
• More reliable uploads with automatic format conversion
• A new status page showing live system health
• Built-in help and support chat

For eligible YouTube videos with an available transcript, Interakly can draft quiz questions for you to review and edit before publishing. Transcript availability and configured AI services are required.

A growing library of how-to guides and practical resources to help you get more out of interactive video.

Interakly is live. Build an interactive lesson from a supported, embeddable YouTube video or your own upload, share a link, and review viewer responses.

• Works with supported, embeddable YouTube links or your own uploaded video
• A wide range of source-compatible question and interaction types
• Uploaded-video workspace panels, including a code editor and a shared board
• Real-time analytics on every response
• Uploaded-video branching paths that adapt to each viewer's answers
