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.
