Video tools stop at playback. Quiz tools pull learners out of the course. Annoto does both, adding quizzes, discussion, and analytics right inside the video you already use. No migration, no new platform.
Quizzes, notes, discussion, peer review, and analytics, shown end to end on the video your students already watch.
Learners comment, ask, and reply right on the video, so they discuss the material instead of watching alone.
Questions and notes stay inside the video, keeping students in the moment instead of clicking away.
Interactive prompts appear at the right point in the video, so attention holds and fewer learners drop off.
See who watched, where they paused, and what they grasped, with results synced straight to your gradebook.
From self-study to collaboration, in-video assessment, skills & peer review, and analytics — Annoto turns any course video into active learning at every stage.
Private notes, reflection points, and revisitable moments — a personal study space inside every video.
In-video discussion, group chat, and polls anchored to the exact moment — guided watching and peer learning.
In-video quizzes and completion tracking turn watching into graded, active recall — synced to your gradebook.
Learners submit performance videos; peers and instructors give time-coded feedback for authentic skills assessment.
The thread through every journey — participation, completion, and watch-time insight for every learner and moment.
Video tools stop at playback. The research is blunt about what that costs — and what changes the moment learners have to think.
From lecture halls and flipped classrooms to labs, language practice, and corporate training, Annoto adds engagement, assessment, and insight to the video you already use. Configure it per video, and it runs in minutes.
Overlay engagement, assessment, and analytics on the video you already use: YouTube, Vimeo, Kaltura, your own site, or any LMS. No migration, and no new platform to learn.

Educational Media Production, Tools, and Facilities, NYU
Annoto has redefined how we approach educational media at NYU. The seamless integration with Kaltura Media Space and NYU Brightspace, coupled with the powerful analytics from the Annoto dashboard, has transformed our teaching and learning experience. It's not just a video annotation tool; it's a comprehensive solution that enhances engagement, fosters collaboration, and provides invaluable insights into student learning.
Executive Director, Florida State University
Annoto provides students more opportunities to think critically about the course content as they reflect on the questions posted and also have the chance to hear other students’ perspectives. In an online class, Annoto accomplishes many of the same goals for discussion as in in-person class. I highly recommend it to other instructors!
Programmamanager Taskforce Digital Learning, Amsterdam University of the Arts
Using Annoto made the material less textual. There was more life in it. It enabled me to refer to concepts of art theory and art criticism based on students’ spontaneous responses. That made the material more fun and easier to cover. Annoto’s solution provides an interesting method of pedagogy. It makes the learning process much more interactive and rich.
Associate Professor, Dean’s Education Innovation Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology
Annoto is a great tool for instructors to inject clarifying comments, added emphasis, or supporting content at time-stamped moments throughout instructional videos to further reinforce content and/or drive engagement in asynchronous courses where spontaneous interaction is otherwise difficult to achieve.

Annoto is a good way of making students pay attention to specific parts of a learning video, deepening their comprehension of challenging topics by adding links or extra explanations, and understanding their students' difficulties by reading their questions. It makes students feel somehow accompanied while they are performing activities by themselves.
Annoto turns the video your institution already uses into a shared, active learning space. Instead of learners watching alone and instructors guessing who understood, every course video becomes a place where questions, answers, quizzes, and insights live directly on the timeline — inside Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, or Open edX, and on top of players like Kaltura, Panopto, Wistia, YouTube, and Vimeo.
Annoto deploys as a single LTI 1.3 integration and works across your entire video library, whatever mix of platforms it lives on. There is no player migration, no separate portal, and nothing new for faculty or students to log into. The engagement layer simply appears on the videos your courses already use, with single sign-on and roles inherited from your LMS.
Learners comment, ask, and answer at the exact moment in the video their question refers to. In-video quizzes and reflection points check understanding mid-stream, peer review turns student videos into assessable work, and Lumo — Annoto's AI copilot built for education — helps generate questions and summarize discussions so instructors spend their time teaching, not administrating.
Every interaction becomes insight: attention and comprehension analytics show where cohorts struggle, completion syncs to the LMS gradebook, and per-learner engagement data gives early warning weeks before an exam would. More than 200 institutions use Annoto to see — not guess — how their learners actually work with video.
