I see that with the Add and Track Questions feature there is a field in the question dialog for the TimeStamp which is very cool.
So when a video reaches the timestamp set for a question it performs 2 actions:
1. it pauses the video*,
2. it pops the question dialog over the video.
*Is a ‘paused’ statement sent when the video is paused by the question at its time point vs the user interacting with the video
Could I have other events or actions be triggered at selected time points of a video?
Is there a way to have a video stop at a certain timepoints without showing a question? (So the user could perform other actions before resuming the video.
Hi Martin,
It will require custom development to achieve it.

Does the video pause while users answers the questions? Also is there an option to show a msg/explanation of the correct answer?
Hi Julie,
Yes, it pause video. But, there is no option to add an explanation or message for now.
Surely, it can be achieved by some custom development.
