Overview of Experiences

In this topic you will learn about Brightcove Interactivity experiences and the different types of experiences that are available.

The following descriptions and linked topics are retained for reference only.

An Experience is a video with other elements (like synced slides or an e-commerce cart) outside the video player that dynamically interact with video player. Experiences allow you to dynamically communicate between a video and the web page itself, opening the door to a new generation of lean-forward interactive realities for your viewers. Viewer interaction on the standard annotations is included in Interactivity reports.

Experience types

Four different types of experiences can be created.

Branching

A Branching Experience includes multiple videos and allows the viewer to jump between videos using annotations. This is commonly referred to as "choose your own adventure". For information, see Creating a Branching Experience.

Lesson

Lessons allow you to create entire learning experiences through interactive video by setting grading criteria to a video. For more information, see Creating a Lesson Experience.

Slide Sync

A Slide Sync Experience presents related slide decks or presentation imagery while a video plays. For information on creating a Slide Sync Experience, see Creating a Slide Sync Experience.

Off-Video Chapters Menu

An Off-Video Chapter Experience will display a chapter menu outside of the player. If the viewer clicks on a chapter, the video will jump to that chapter. For information, see Creating an Off-Video Chapters Menu Experience.
