What's new in Interakly

New features, improvements, and fixes — shipped regularly.

July 2026

New

Question Stage

Give any question the game treatment — a curtain with your question, a quick countdown, big tappable answer tiles, and a celebratory finish.

  • Works on Multiple Choice, True/False, and Fill in the Blank
  • Turn it on per question from the Appearance panel — nothing changes until you do
  • No time pressure: the countdown is just the entrance, and only your own time limits ever count down
  • Scoring, feedback, and retakes work exactly as before
New

Match Sprint

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

June 2026

New

Interactive Images

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
New

Branch Mid-Video

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.

New

Analytics hub

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
New

Custom branding

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
New

Two new question types

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.

May 2026

New

Interactive content pages

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
New

Threaded comments

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.

New

Bookmarks

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

Improvement

Flexible quiz retakes

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.

Improvement

Quality-of-life improvements

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
