Evaluating the performance of interactive video on mobile devices

By Spira

Measuring engagement across touch-based smartphones reveals a stark contrast compared to traditional desktop viewing metrics. B2B software marketers are discovering that non-linear formats designed specifically for handheld displays dramatically increase viewer retention and conversion rates.

Designing hotspots for touch screens

Combining standard motion pictures with viewer choices creates a highly engaging multimedia experience. When creators embed clickable regions within their assets, they empower the audience to alter the narrative flow or surface hidden details.

To maximize the effectiveness of these branching scenarios, growth teams should run controlled experiments on interactive video elements to determine the exact optimal placement and duration for each clickable region on cellular screens.

Measuring differences across platforms

The tactile nature of mobile consumption fundamentally changes how prospects interact with SaaS product tours. Audiences are more likely to explore alternative storyline paths when the interface accommodates physical taps rather than precise cursor clicks, leading to richer platform engagement.
