VideoComponent

Defined in: parser/types.ts:1330

The VideoComponent interface is used to define the properties of a video component. This component is used to render a video with optional controls.

Most often, video components will be used for trainings, and will have a forceCompletion field set to true. This will prevent the participant from moving on until the video has finished playing.

As such, the forceCompletion field is set to true by default, and the withTimeline field is set to false by default.

For example, to render a training video with a path of <study-name>/assets/video.mp4, you would use the following snippet:

{
"type": "video",
"path": "<study-name>/assets/video.mp4",
}
