Interactive Video Questions

AI Video Lectures can pause at key moments and ask you a question about what you just watched. It is a built-in active recall layer -- the video stops, you answer, you get instant feedback, and playback resumes.

How It Works

While watching a completed video lecture, the player automatically pauses at checkpoints prepared from the transcript. A question card slides in over the video with a multiple-choice prompt or short answer. You answer, see whether you got it right with a quick explanation, and then click Continue to resume.

Questions are placed at moments where a new concept just finished -- not at random timestamps -- so each pause acts like a mini knowledge check.

Turning Auto-Pause On or Off

Auto-pause is on by default. To change it:

• Open any video lecture.
• Click the Settings icon in the player.
• Toggle Pause for questions on or off.

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 toward your Best.

Turning Checkpoints into Study Material

Each checkpoint has shortcuts to keep studying:

• Create flashcards -- Generate a small flashcard deck focused on the concepts that came up at that checkpoint.
• Create a quiz -- Build a longer quiz from the checkpoint topics in the video.

Both shortcuts pull directly from the same content the question was generated from, so the cards and quiz questions stay tightly scoped to that moment in the lecture.

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 runs the first time you open the video, and the questions appear within a few seconds.

Tips

• Treat the questions as real checkpoints. Pausing to answer is more valuable than skipping ahead.
• If a question feels off, click Continue to skip it -- the AI keeps generating new ones for the next checkpoint.
• Use the Create flashcards shortcut on questions you got wrong. That captures the exact gap in your understanding.
• For passive review (commute, kitchen, etc.), turn auto-pause off so the video plays straight through.
