This feature is in Beta.
This feature is only available for Synthesia Enterprise Plan Customers. If you would like discuss upgrading your plan, contact the Synthesia Support team or see the How do I upgrade my Synthesia plan ? guide.
With interactive questions, you can add quizzes directly into your Synthesia videos. Whether you're testing knowledge or gathering feedback, this feature makes it easy to create engaging, personalized training content—all within the video editor.
Picking A Question Type:
Start by selecting a Quiz element from the Components panel.
Single answer (radio buttons): viewers can select only one option.
Multiple answer (checkboxes): viewers can select more than one option.
Results: viewers can see their score and if they passed or failed.
Adding and Customizing Questions:
Once you choose a question:
Add it to a scene – it will snap to the left side of the canvas.
Edit the question text and answers by clicking directly into the component.
Mark the correct answer(s) for quiz questions using the option buttons.
Style your question using the side panel:
Adjust font, color, and shape to match your video’s design.
Reposition or resize the question freely like any other video element.
Animate the question using entry/exit triggers if needed.
Using Practice Mode for quiz questions
Practice Mode gives learners instant feedback without affecting their score.
Enable Practice Mode from the side panel.
Viewers will see correct/incorrect feedback after answering.
These questions are excluded from quiz scoring.
Adding a results screen for quizzes
To wrap up a quiz, add a Results component to any scene.
With the results component, you can:
Set a pass/fail threshold.
Show a message based on the score.
Enable a Retry option:
Adds a Retry button to the video.
Viewers are taken back to the first quiz question to try again.
Setting up logic to control flow
You can define what happens after a viewer answers a question using logic statements.
Use Always logic to trigger a single action every time.
Use If / Else logic to define outcomes based on viewer responses.
Add multiple If rules with AND conditions for advanced branching.
Example: Show a custom message only if viewers get two questions wrong.
Understanding how the video player behaves
Interactive questions change how your video plays for viewers:
Questions are blocking — viewers must respond before continuing.
The timeline is hidden while a question is visible.
If viewers rewind the video:
Previously answered questions appear in their submitted state.
If they click the Retry button, they can re-answer the quiz from the start.
Notes:
Interactivity works only on videos published via Synthesia.
All questions will have “Submit” and “Next” states.
If a Results or Question component is on the last scene, the Next button appears but has no effect.
