Quick tip
How can points of interest support quick revision or exam preparation?
Points of interest let you jump straight to key explanations or examples without rewatching the entire video. This makes them especially useful for revision sessions, targeted review, or quickly revisiting specific concepts before assessments.

What are points of interest?

Points of interest help students and educators identify and access key moments within any ClickView video. These are highlighted visually through blue dots that appear along the video timeline at the bottom of the video player screen.
