How to use Cinema8's interactive video hosting

Host your videos on Cinema8 securely and add simple interactive elements for improved engagement.

Step 1

Upload your videos to Cinema8 individually, in bulk, or via API. Videos are hosted securely and optimised for smooth playback across devices before any interactive elements are added.

Step 2

Add interactive elements such as clickable overlays, in-video questions, or CTAs at key moments. These interactions are embedded directly into the hosted video experience.

Step 3

Publish your interactive video and share it using links or embeds. Cinema8 delivers the video reliably while tracking engagement and interaction data automatically.

Why use Cinema8 for interactive video hosting?

Cinema8 allows teams to host interactive videos within a secure, high-performance environment, removing the need for separate tools or platforms. By combining reliable video hosting with built-in interactivity, organisations can engage viewers directly inside the video while maintaining smooth playback, analytics, and control. This approach helps teams turn video into a more measurable, action-driven channel without increasing technical complexity.

How Cinema8 enhances interactive video hosting

Turn hosted videos into clickable, action-driven experiences

Engage viewers without compromising playback performance

Track interactions and engagement from a single platform

Capture leads directly from hosted videos

Marketing teams can host videos with built-in CTAs or forms that prompt viewers to take action while watching. Instead of directing users elsewhere, interactive elements inside the video help capture interest at the right moment and connect viewing behaviour to measurable outcomes.

Cinema8's interactive video hosting platform is being used to add a lead form to a marketing video to capture more leads directly from the video.
Collect viewer feedback within video content

Teams can host videos that include simple questions or feedback forms, allowing viewers to respond without leaving the player. This makes it easier to gather opinions, confirm understanding, or validate content effectiveness while maintaining a smooth hosted viewing experience.

Cinema8's interactive video hosting tools show how questions can be added to a video for a more user-friendly response experience.
Guide viewers to next steps after key moments

Interactive video hosting allows teams to trigger clickable prompts at specific timestamps, guiding viewers toward next steps such as booking a call, accessing resources, or continuing learning. This helps structure viewer journeys without complex external tools.

Interactive video hosting combines secure video delivery with built-in interactive elements such as clickable overlays, questions, and CTAs. Instead of only hosting standard videos, Cinema8 allows teams to also publish videos that viewers can interact with directly. This helps organisations turn video into a more engaging and measurable channel while maintaining reliable playback and performance.
Cinema8 delivers interactive videos through a high-performance hosting infrastructure designed to maintain smooth playback. Interactive elements load alongside the video without interrupting streaming quality, ensuring viewers experience consistent playback while still being able to interact with prompts, questions, or CTAs.
Cinema8 supports practical interactive elements such as clickable overlays, in-video questions, and CTAs. These interactions allow teams to guide viewers, collect responses, or prompt actions directly within the video player. This keeps engagement focused and avoids the need to redirect viewers to external pages during playback.
Interactive video hosting works well for marketing, training, education, and internal communication teams. Each team can use interactive elements differently (such as lead capture, feedback collection, or learning reinforcement) while relying on the same hosting platform for delivery, analytics, and content management.
Cinema8 tracks both standard video metrics and interaction data, including clicks, responses, and completion rates. This gives teams visibility into how viewers engage with interactive elements, helping them understand which parts of a video drive action and where viewers may lose interest.
