How to add time codes to the video to improve overall engagement and enhance the learning process.


If you want to make it easier for your students to watch long videos, you can add timestamps below the video, breaking it down into main sections. First, you need to add the video to the lesson, and only after that, you can add timestamps.
Important: if you delete or replace the video, the timestamps will stop working.

First, add the video, and then a text field below it.
In the text field, you can immediately write the time and titles of topics or sections, for example:
00:00 - Introduction
01:45 - Meeting the main speakers of the course
05:23 - Setting your personal goals

Next, you will need to determine the unique video identifier on Kwiga. It doesn’t matter where the video is uploaded from (YouTube, Storage, Vimeo), follow these steps:
Hover your mouse over the word "Video" next to the video for which you plan to add timestamps and wait for a hint to appear with a number.



Record this number – it’s the video identifier. Now you can create timestamps!
Form the links in the format #video-id=3370/00:00:00, but instead of 3700, use your video identifier, and instead of 00:00:00, specify the time in the video (hours:minutes:seconds). You can skip hours and minutes if desired, for example:
#video-id=3700/01:30:15 - the video will open at 1 hour, 30 minutes, and 15 seconds
#video-id=3700/22:15 - the video will open at 22 minutes and 15 seconds
#video-id=3700/33 - the video will open at 33 seconds.

Add the links to the previously created template, for example, for
01:45 - Meeting the main speakers of the course we will add the link #video-id=3700/01:45
