With Kaltura Hotsot, you can create links to the Kaltura video, for example, link other materials to the video or link supplementary material.

Use Kaltura Hotspots when:

• you want to offer supplementary material to the things shown in the video at the exact moment when they are relevant when watching
• you want to link supplementary video material, e.g. when doing a calculation, offer a more detailed explanation of how to use the formula before moving forward with the actual video.
