Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Supademo’s video hotspots. Have others? Reach out and our team will be happy to help.
How do interactive video hotspots work?
Interactive video hotspots are clickable areas overlaid on video frames that let viewers navigate, make choices, or access additional content. Supademo's hotspots trigger branching paths, tooltips, and section navigation. Hotspots are especially effective in video walkthroughs for guided product experiences.
How is Supademo different from HapYak or ThingLink?
HapYak and ThingLink add basic clickable overlays. Supademo combines hotspots with branching logic, AI voiceovers, step-level analytics, and enterprise features like SSO and SOC 2 Type II compliance. For a broader interactive video approach, see the interactive video builder.
Can I add hotspots to an existing video?
Yes. Upload any video file to Supademo, split it into steps, and place clickable hotspots on any frame. No re-recording required. You can also start with the screen recorder to capture new footage.
Do hotspots work on mobile devices?
Yes. Supademo hotspots are responsive and work on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers. Touch interactions on mobile devices work the same as clicks on desktop. This makes hotspot videos ideal for interactive product walkthroughs shared via email or social.
Can hotspots trigger branching paths?
Yes. Each hotspot can navigate to a different section of your video, creating branching experiences where viewers choose their own journey through the content. This personalizes sales demos for different buyer personas.
Can I track which hotspots viewers click?
Yes. Supademo analytics show click counts per hotspot, viewer paths through branching content, and how hotspot engagement correlates with completion rates. These buying signals help sales and marketing teams optimize their content.
Can I combine hotspots with voiceovers?
Yes. Add AI-generated voiceovers alongside your hotspots. The narration plays as viewers progress through steps, while hotspots provide interactive navigation. This combination powers effective training videos and product tours.
Is the video hotspot tool free?
You can add hotspots to up to 5 videos on the free plan. Paid plans remove that cap and add custom branding, team workspaces, viewer analytics, SSO, and SOC 2 Type II compliance for enterprise teams.
