How to Add Time Restriction to Question Types
Adding time restrictions enhances interactivity and creates game-like pressure in learning or quiz scenarios.
Using the Countdown Element with Questions
Step 1: Add a Question to the Timeline
Begin by adding any question type (e.g., multiple choice, fill in the blank) to your video timeline.
Step 2: Add the Countdown Widget
Drag and drop the Countdown element from the Elements panel to the same time interval as the question.
This widget controls how long a viewer has to respond.
Step 3: Configure General Settings
Use the Countdown’s Properties Panel to:
- Set the countdown duration (e.g., 5 seconds)
- Style the countdown appearance if needed
Step 4: Define “On Complete” Behavior
Select an On Complete action — this will trigger if the viewer fails to respond within the countdown period.
Common use cases:
-
Jump in This Project
Automatically skip to another part of the video. -
Set Visible + Play Audio
Trigger a voice alert such as:
“Your time is up, please make a choice.”
Set the audio element as invisible, then choose Play Audio in Countdown’s On Complete settings. -
Set Variable
Track if the viewer answered in time.
You can use this later to display a summary or score.
