Achieving consistent learner engagement can feel impossible without the right tools — until now. Interactive video helps educators turn standard instruction into dynamic learning for any lesson, course, or curricula.
From creating and editing to managing content, delivering effective instruction involves several moving parts. That’s why we’ve made interactive video creation and learning in PlayPosit easier than ever with our newest add-on feature: Hosting.
What is Hosting in PlayPosit?
Hosting empowers PlayPosit users to seamlessly store, search, and edit videos all in one place. In other words — deliver immersive lectures, short-form lessons, and more as interactive videos, without having to manage additional media integrations or the associated costs.
Hosting also unlocks a new layer of video editing functionality within PlayPosit, empowering instructional designers, educators, and trainers to easily manage and measure the entire video learning ecosystem:
- Capture and edit: From screencasts to edited videos, curate perfect and repeat learning experiences tailored specifically to your audience.
- Manage and organize: Store video lessons for easy access, searchability, and repeat use.
- Analyze and apply: Review and remediate to optimize instruction and program impact.
- Engage and share: Triple learner engagement, minimize distraction, and maximize outcomes with interactive video elements.
Hosting’s powerful editing and subtitle features, customizable integrations, and analytics make it easy to champion active learning with every video lesson.
Benefits of Hosting
Hosting makes PlayPosit an even more powerful end-to-end solution for interactive video design and content. With Hosting, you gain the following benefits:
1. Simplified content management

2. Effortless learning operations
With one core tool for your team, you can minimize costs as well as time spent training and integrating additional media. Forgo the pain of multiple tech components and simplify with Hosting.
3. Comprehensive customization options
Gone are the days when the only engaging video components were stop, play, and rewind. PlayPosit’s editor houses dozens of customizable interactions, the flagship WeVideo editor, plus an AI Subtitle Generator that makes it easy to create and transcribe dynamic content fast. Hosting empowers educators to author and publish interactive lessons while saving time, reducing cost, and enhancing outcomes.

1. Craft your instructional video. Select Upload & Record to locate pre-existing content, or click Create to make your own.
