Create an Audio-Visual stage
Audio Visual (AV) stages are designed to focus on multimedia content, with a specific video shown at the top of the page which is mandatory to watch to progress.
At the top of an Audio Visual (AV) stage is a featured piece of multimedia content, either a video or an audio file. This piece of content must be watched by the user to the 90% mark to complete the stage and allow them to move to the next stage.
The stage can be configured to hide or show the video progress bar, meaning users can be restricted from scrolling through the video / audio if it is mandatory for them to watch / listen to the entire piece of content.
The body of the article can then contain text, images, files, and even other videos, however only the featured content has to be watched in order to complete the stage.
If the AV stage does not have a featured video or audio set, then the user will not be able to progress, so it must have either set before it is published.
Audio Visual stages display the following in the front end:
- Featured image
- Featured video / audio
- Body content including
- Text
- Media
- Files
To complete the AV stage, users have to watch or listen to the featured video / audio to the 90% mark.
To create an AV stage:
- In the back end click Add new under Audio Visual Stages
- Add the title of the stage
- Add a featured image in the Featured Media tab
- Add a featured video or audio in the Featured Media tab
- Add the content of the stage
- Set the Interest categories of the stage
- Configure the stage to set whether it's locked, whether the video / audio is skippable, and the points earned completing it
