How to (Injects)
Within the inject, click on Please add video or image to import it through your media library.
Alternatively, drag and drop the media you want.
Timer
Select the amount of time you want the image/video to stay on the screen for. Video: the default timer length for videos is the length of the clip. But If you have a long video, you might want to use a shorter duration for the timer so players aren't interrupted for the whole video. Image: the default timer length for images is 10 seconds. You can extend this by editing the timer.
News ticker text
This is the text that scrolls across the bottom of a video like a news ticker. You can use the toggle button to select the direction in which the banner moves (used for different languages that may read right to left instead of left to right)
Overlaid image
Overlay an image on the video and set the start time and duration.
Using the news ticker and overlaid mage on a video media pop-up allows you to get greater use of "generic" video content by making it appear bespoke to an exercise. E.g. a video about a flood can now appear to be about a flood in a specific area / affecting these people.
⭐Best practices
Use media pop-ups sparingly to create spectacle
Remember your exercises should be participatory and that media pop-ups interrupt the player's current activity. Use it when you need to grab attention!
Use shorter videos for media pop-ups to maintain player engagement
We recommend using images with dimensions of roughly 2000 x 3800px for the best output
