Get ready to take your mobile app interactions to a whole new level with Insight Reels! These activities offer a full-screen experience filled with exciting and fun components that captivate and entertain your users.

Moderators have the option to create a video, add some keywords to your activity description, and share it with the members of your mobile-enabled community. This video is intended to elicit reactions from the community members.

There are two ways to produce and design the video. The first option is to handle the entire process in-house, meaning that the moderators themselves will take care of creating and designing the video. The second option is to make use of existing text-to-video production sites that utilize AI avatars, such as Elai.io and HeyGen. These sites provide a platform where moderators can input text, which is then transformed into a video featuring AI avatars.

Activity Interface Overview

Here's a closer look at what Insight Reels brings to the table:

• Insight Reels are triggered by a specific keyword or a simple checkbox during the activity creation process. This ensures that the activities are precisely what you want them to be.
• Insight Reels are exclusively designed for mobile apps. They're tailored to provide an optimal experience on mobile devices, making them a perfect fit for your on-the-go audience.
• Easily upload your media content, enhancing user engagement and interaction.

Insight Reels are packed with components that make user interactions a breeze:

Member Responses

Upon launching an Insight Reel, the app loads and automatically plays the Moderator Video. The Video Reply View showcases thumbnails for easy selection. Tapping a thumbnail triggers a vertically paging list of Video Replies, which also autoplay upon appearance.

The member's Video Reply interface mimics the Moderator Video, with a few distinctions:

• The Video Reply Button is hidden.
• "Replying to @(moderator username)" is added above the Activity Title Label.
• When multiple Video Replies exist, a Swipe Up Indicator appears at the bottom of the screen.
