# How do I pause the video on the last frame?

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

## Short answer

Open **End Screen** and choose **None: Pause on Last Frame** under **When the video ends**. The video stops on its last frame with no overlay. Any interaction whose **Hide** time reaches the end of the video stays on screen and viewers can still click it.

## Steps

1. Open the video and select **End Screen** in the video menu.
2. Under **When the video ends**, choose **None: Pause on Last Frame**. The change saves automatically.
3. Select **Interactions** and open each button that should stay on screen.
4. Under **Timing**, hover the **Hide** field and click **End** to set it to the end of the video. Save.
5. Watch the video to the end from the share link in a private browser window. Check that the last frame holds and that each button works.

_Set When the video ends to None: Pause on Last Frame. Changes save automatically._

## How it works

When the video reaches its end, the player stops a fraction of a second before the last frame and holds there. No end screen covers the video, so your own interactions stay visible. Viewers can still use the seek bar to go back.

## When to use it

- Your call-to-action buttons are already on screen at the end.
- The last frame is a designed slide, such as a menu or contact card.
- You want viewers to choose a next step with no automatic redirect.

## If a button disappears at the end

- Its **Hide** time is before the end of the video. Set it to **End**.
- Its **Post Click State** is **Hidden**, so it went away after a click.
- Its **Visibility** is **Desktop Only** or **Mobile Only** and you are on the other device.
- It uses conditional logic that hides it for this viewer.

## Require a click at the end

A button with **At hide time (Require Click)** that ends with the video still makes the viewer click it. Use this when the last step must be done, such as acknowledging a policy.
