Video teaching and timed stories
Embed video and audio, then time objects and voice to the playhead — with Build lenses, class sync, and self-paced replay on the same page.
The clip is the spine. The story is the teaching.
What video teaching and timed stories are
Embed YouTube, Vimeo, or direct audio on a page, then build a timed story around the playhead: objects and audio appear or hide as the media runs. Build lenses let you show everything, focus on the video, or follow the video timing while you author.
That matters when a clip is the spine of the lesson — pause for a Quest, reveal a diagram at 0:45, bring in a voice note at the right moment — instead of asking learners to watch a bare video alone.
Why teachers build video stories
Explain on top of the clip
Ink and objects arrive when the video reaches the idea.
Pause for thinking
Timing can pause and hand off into a Quest prompt.
Class sync
Followers can track media state together (followers muted appropriately).
Self-paced share
The same story works when a learner replays alone later.
YouTube embeds use a privacy-friendly nocookie path with API control. Voice notes can be recorded in-board or pasted as direct audio URLs.
Inside video and timed stories
- Embed Video / Embed Audio — YouTube, Vimeo, direct audio
- Record voice — short microphone captures when the browser supports it
- Clip start / end — teach only the segment you need
- Object media timing — appear/hide with the playhead; pause and Quest links
- Build lenses — Show all / Video only / Follow video
- Class media sync — shared media state for followers
How a clip becomes a story
Embed the video or audio and set the clip range
Keep only the segment that teaches.
Add objects with media timing
Diagrams, text, and audio enter and exit with the playhead.
Author with lenses; teach synced or self-paced
Follow video while building; sync the class or let learners replay.
Build lenses
| Lens | Use when |
|---|---|
| Show all | You need every object visible while arranging the page |
| Video only | You want to focus on the media without story clutter |
| Follow video | You are checking timing as the playhead moves |
