FAQ
How can I use video slides?
Teachers who present Study.com videos in the classroom can use this feature to interact with their class. Video slides can be used to raise a discussion question, check for understanding, or supplement the contents of a video.
How many video slides can I have for one video?
Every Study.com video can have at most 10 video slides associated with it.
Why is there a character limit for each video slide?
A character limit is enforced on the video slides feature so that there is enough space for the contents of a video slide to be clearly visible to all students in a classroom setting.
Can I add multimedia content (such as images or videos) to my video slides?
Unfortunately, only text is supported on video slides.
Where can I see all of the video slides that I have created on my account?
A user can view all of their video slides in the "Notes" section of their Dashboard.
As a teacher who uses Study.com's Virtual Classrooms, do my students also have access to the video slides that I create on a video?
Video slides are tied to the account, so free student account users logging in to their personal accounts will not have access to slides that they did not create.
