Overlays fire on one of five events: at a specific time (seconds), at a percentage of the video watched, on play, on pause, or on end. You can configure auto-hide delays, show-once-per-session logic, and pause-on-show from the "Interactivity" tab of the dashboard.

Documentation
Overlays are interactive elements displayed on top of the video at specific moments. They are configured in the Videas dashboard on the "Interactivity" tab of your asset. Four overlay types are available: Call-to-Action (button with link), Rating (5-star with optional comment), Recommendations (grid of related videos), and Info (title + message). Each overlay can be triggered at a specific time (in seconds), at a percentage of the video watched, when the video starts, when it ends, or when the viewer pauses. You can choose from 8 positions (center, corners, edges, fullscreen), 4 animations (fade, slide up, slide down, scale), and configure auto-hide delay, dismiss button, pause-on-show, show-once per session, and a visual marker on the progress bar.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Impressions, dismissals, clicks and average rating are collected per overlay and visible in the Analytics tab of the video. CTA clicks include the destination URL, so you can correlate them with conversions in your own analytics stack.
Yes. Overlays are fully responsive — positions and animations adapt to the player size, and the dismiss button is always tappable. Fullscreen mode on iOS uses the native video layer, so overlays are automatically hidden there and resume on exit.
