# How do I keep a button visible for the whole video?

Topic: [Interactions and logic](https://mindstamp.com/help/interactions) · Updated: 2026-09-25

## Short answer

Open the button and go to **Timing**. Hover the **Show** field and click **Start**, then hover the **Hide** field and click **End**. Save. The button now shows from the first frame to the last. Place it in a corner so it does not cover captions or important content.

## Steps

1. Select **Interactions** and open the button, or add a new one.
2. Under **Timing**, hover the **Show** field and click **Start** (**Set to start**).
3. Hover the **Hide** field and click **End** (**Set to end of video**).
4. Set **Pause** to **None**, so the button never stops the video.
5. Drag the button to a corner, away from the player controls and captions, and save.
6. To keep it clickable after the video ends, set **End Screen** to **None: Pause on Last Frame**.
7. Watch the start, a few scene changes and the end in **Preview**, on a phone and on a desktop.

_Hover the Hide field and click End to keep the interaction on screen until the video ends._

## Keep it out of the way

A button that is always on screen should be small and quiet. Use short text, a corner position, and colors that fit the video. If the phone layout is crowded, make a smaller copy and set **Visibility** to **Mobile Only** on it and **Desktop Only** on the original.

## Make sure it stays after a click

Keep **Post Click State** at **No Change**. **Hidden** removes the button after the first click, and **Disabled** stops later clicks.

## After the video ends

Most **End Screen** options cover the video or move the viewer. **None: Pause on Last Frame** holds the last frame, so the button stays visible and clickable. See [pause on the last frame](https://mindstamp.com/help/pause-video-on-last-frame).

## Another option: the Magic Menu

If you want several links available the whole time, use the **Magic Menu**. It is a menu of links and resources that viewers can open at any point, and it is on every plan.
