Topic: [Interactions and logic](https://mindstamp.com/help/interactions) · Updated: 2026-10-05 ## Short answer A click action is what happens when a viewer clicks a button, hotspot, image or text interaction. You choose it in the **Click Action** list when you edit the interaction. There are more than 20, including **Open Link**, **Change Time**, **Switch Video**, **Show Message** and **Download File**. ## Steps 1. Select **Interactions** and open the button, hotspot, image or text you want to change. 2. Under **Content**, open the **Click Action** list. Type to filter it. 3. Choose an action and fill in its value, such as a link, a time, a video or a message. 4. Save the interaction and test the click from the share link in a private browser window. ![Click Action list in the Mindstamp editor filtered by typing link, showing Open Link and Open Link Modal](https://cdn.mindstamp.com/website2026/help/click-action-filter.webp) _Type in the field at the top of the Click Action list to filter it._ ![Button editor in Mindstamp with Click Action set to Open Link, a YouTube channel link ending in ?sub_confirmation=1, and the Subscribe on YouTube button on the video](https://cdn.mindstamp.com/website2026/help/button-open-link-youtube.webp) _Set the Click Action to Open Link and paste your channel link with ?sub_confirmation=1 at the end._ ## Move the viewer - **Continue**: records the click and keeps the video playing. New buttons, images and text start with this action. - **Open Link**: opens a web page and pauses the video. Links open in a new tab unless you turn off **Open links in new tab** in the video’s **Settings**. - **Open Link Modal**: opens a web page in a window on top of the video, so the viewer does not leave. Some websites do not allow this. Use **Open Link** for those. - **Change Time**: jumps to another time in the same video. - **Switch Video**: branches to another video, with an optional start time. - **Switch to Previous Video**: returns to the video the viewer came from. ## Show more information - **Show Message**: shows a message. The video pauses until the viewer closes it. - **Show Article**: opens an article from your assets. - **Show Image**: opens an image, such as a diagram or map. - **Show Card**: opens an info, media or product card. It is available on buttons, hotspots, images and text. - **Play Video Clip** and **Play Audio Clip**: pause the video and play a short clip. ## Contact, input and commerce - **Start Email**: opens the viewer’s email app with your address filled in. - **Start Call**: calls your number on a phone. On a desktop, it shows the number. - **Collect Feedback**: shows your prompt and a box for a short response. - **Copy Text**: copies text you choose, such as a discount code, to the viewer’s clipboard. - **Add to Cart**: adds a product to the in-video cart. It needs a Shopify connection, which Mindstamp sets up for your store on request. See [Shopify](https://mindstamp.com/help/shopify-shoppable-video). - **Download File**: downloads a file you choose. It is on Pro and higher plans. ## AI and menus - **Open Genie AI**: opens Genie, which answers viewer questions from the video. Genie is on Core and higher plans. - **Ask ChatGPT**: opens a ChatGPT window inside the player. - **Open Magic Menu**: opens the video’s Magic Menu of links and resources. ## None **None** shows the interaction but makes it not clickable. Use it for a label or picture that should not do anything. Require Click is not available with **None**. ## Actions in other places Question answers have their own action list. The **End Screen** has its own options for the end of the video. To run an action at a set time with no click, use a [navigation](https://mindstamp.com/help/navigations). To ask for a name or email before any action runs, turn on **Capture Lead** in the interaction’s **Settings**. ## Go further - [Click actions tutorial](https://mindstamp.com/tutorials/click-actions) - [Open links](https://mindstamp.com/features/open-links) - [Link modals](https://mindstamp.com/features/modal) ## Related answers - [What is a navigation and how do I use it?](https://mindstamp.com/help/navigations) - [What does Change Time do?](https://mindstamp.com/help/understanding-the-change-time-feature-in-mindstamp) - [How do I use video branching?](https://mindstamp.com/help/how-to-use-interactive-video-branching) - [How do I add a clickable button to my video?](https://mindstamp.com/help/how-to-use-clickable-video-buttons-on-mindstamp) --- Need more help?
