Embed YouTube videos with timestamp-based prompts that ask guests to respond without interrupting playback — adding, editing, and managing timed prompts.

What is a Video section?
A Video section embeds a YouTube video into your class. Guests watch the video directly on the class page. Optionally, you can add timed moments — titles, callouts, lists, notes, questions, or fill-in-the-blank prompts that appear at a specific point in the video. The video keeps playing while a moment is on screen; it does not pause.
Setting up a Video section
Adding the YouTube video
- Open the Video section in the class builder.
Click the settings icon (top left of the section) to open the section settings modal.
- Paste your YouTube video URL into the video link field.
- Save. The video player appears in the editor.

Adding timed prompts
Timed prompts show the guest a question or message in a tray that slides out beneath the video at a specific moment. The video keeps playing while the tray is open — it does not pause.
How to add a prompt
- Play the video in the builder.
When the video reaches the moment where you want a prompt to appear, click the Add Prompt at Timecode button (center of the navigation bar below the video player).
- A type picker appears. Select the prompt type.
Enter the prompt text and configure whether to record the guest's response.
- Save.
The prompt is now attached to that timecode and will appear automatically for guests when the video reaches that point.
Moment types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | A kicker, headline, and optional reference shown as a title card over the video. |
| Callout | A lower-third overlay — a short label plus one line of text. |
| List | A heading with a few bullet points. |
| Note | Plain text shown below the player, in the tray. Display-only — no response is recorded. |
| Question | A freeform question. Guests type a full response. |
| Fill-in the blank | A sentence with a blank for guests to complete by typing. Use the underscore character (_) wherever you want the blank; add multiple underscores for multiple blanks. |
Fill-in-the-blank example: "Jesus said, ___ are the pure in heart" — the guest types their answer in the blank.
Navigating between prompts
While the video is playing in the builder:
- Click the left arrow to jump to the previous prompt's timecode.
- Click the right arrow to jump to the next prompt's timecode.
Recording responses
When adding a prompt, you can choose whether to record the guest's response. If recording is enabled, the guest's answer is saved as a submission and appears in the Guest detail view under this section.
Managing prompts
To edit or delete an existing prompt:
- Use the arrow navigation to jump to the prompt's timecode.
- The prompt editor appears below the video player.
- Make your changes or delete the prompt.
What guests see
Guests see the YouTube video player and can play, pause, and seek as normal. When the video reaches a moment's timecode, a tray slides out beneath the video showing the moment's content — the video keeps playing the whole time. For a Question or Fill-in-the-blank moment, the guest can respond in the tray without interrupting playback.
Common questions
What happens if a guest skips forward past a prompt timecode?
The tray will still show the prompt at that timecode even if the guest seeked past it, without pausing the video. Prompts are triggered based on playback position.
Are guest responses to prompts saved?
Only if the prompt has the record option enabled. If recording is off, the prompt appears but no data is stored.
Can I add prompts without a YouTube link?
No. The video link must be set before prompts can be added, because prompts require a timecode from the video.
Do video prompts work on mobile?
Yes. The video player and prompts are responsive and work on mobile devices.
Can I use videos from platforms other than YouTube?
No. Only YouTube is currently supported.
How do I save a guest's answer to a video prompt?
Guests click the check mark (or save button) next to the answer box to save their response for that prompt. For data you need reliably from every guest, use a Form section with required fields — those are always saved on submission.
Click the help bubble in the corner to open a ticket. Real humans on the other end — usually a same-day reply.
