Interactive Video Questions
AI Video Lectures can ask you a question at key moments about what you just watched. It is a built-in active recall layer: a question invitation appears while the video keeps playing, and you can open it to answer and get instant feedback.
How It Works
While watching a completed video lecture, a small question invitation appears at the bottom of the video at key checkpoints without pausing playback. Choose Answer to open the question and pause the lecture, then answer and see a quick explanation. Closing the question resumes playback if it was playing before you opened it; a previously paused video stays paused. Hovering only keeps the invitation visible. If you would rather keep watching, ignore or dismiss it.
Questions are placed at moments where a new concept just finished, not at random timestamps, so each checkpoint acts like a mini knowledge check.
Shared Videos and Full Screen
Viewers of a public video can answer the questions while signed out. If you sign up from that viewing session, your existing answers can be saved to the account. Question cards also work in full screen, including on phones.
On a paid team plan, completion and question results for lectures shared with the team can appear in the team's shared-lecture report. See Team Data and Security for who can see those results.
Turning Interactive Questions On or Off
If you'd rather watch without any question cards, open the player's settings (the gear in the control bar) and switch Interactive questions off. Questions are on by default; switching them off hides them entirely. The setting is saved to your account, so future videos follow the same preference until you change it.
Reviewing Questions Later
Every video lecture has an Interactive questions panel below the player. It lists each checkpoint, the question, and your answer history. From this panel you can:
- Re-attempt any question without rewatching the video.
- Read the AI's explanation again.
- Jump to the exact moment in the video where the question was triggered.
Scores: Best, Last, and History
Every full run of the questions panel saves a score, so the panel doubles as a quiz tracker:
- Best: your highest-scoring attempt so far, shown as a percentage.
- Last: your most recent completed attempt.
- History: the full list of past attempts with the date, the score, and how many questions you answered correctly. Open any past attempt to see exactly which questions you got right and wrong.
Best and Last appear right next to the questions list so you can see your top score at a glance. Retake the questions as many times as you like, only completed attempts count towards your Best.
If you regenerate the lecture at a longer length, its interactive questions are rebuilt to match the new video, so your answers save against the questions you actually see rather than failing against questions that no longer line up. Scores from the earlier version stay in your history.
Turning the Video into Study Material
Open the AI & Sources section on the video page and create a flashcard deck from the lecture. It pulls from the same material the questions were generated from, so the cards line up with what the video actually taught, a natural next step after a low-scoring attempt. The other creation actions for the video live in that same section.
When Questions Are Prepared
For new video lectures, questions are prepared automatically as part of generation, they are ready by the time the video finishes processing. For older videos created before this feature existed, the question pass can run when you open the video. Keep the page open or return after processing finishes; the timing depends on the video and current demand.
Tips
- Treat the questions as real checkpoints. Answering as you go is more valuable than skipping past the cards.
- Use the questions panel after watching to re-attempt anything you got wrong, the explanation plus the jump-to-moment link makes a fast review loop.
- Create flashcards from the video for the concepts you missed. That captures the exact gap in your understanding.
- For passive review (a commute, a second pass in the background), switch Interactive questions off in the player's settings and let the video play straight through.
- Regenerating at a longer length is safe for your record, the questions are rebuilt to match and your earlier scores are kept.
