An interactive video is a form of visual media that allows users to interact with the content within the video itself. This gives the viewer the ability to interact with the video itself through a variety of tools. Users can click, drag, scroll, hover, gesture, and complete other digital actions to interact with the video’s content. This is similar to the way a viewer would interact with web content.

These types of functionalities create a more engaging experience for the viewer turning static video content into a more memorable experience.
