How to Use the Interactive Video Editor

The LearnWorlds Interactive Video Editor is a powerful tool designed to enhance learner engagement by allowing you to add interactive elements to your videos. With this feature, you can transform passive video content into an interactive learning experience where students actively participate and apply concepts in real-time.

In this article, we will see an overview of how to access the Interactive Video Editor, understand the supported elements and their functionalities, and see the plan availability of each feature supported in the interactive video editor.
