Video challenges are a first-class pattern in Nudj: members watch a video and answer questions at specific timestamps, or simply complete-to-watch.

​
The purpose-built admin UI

Nudj has a dedicated admin UI for video challenges (#1138) — not a generic challenge editor with a video attached. This means:
  • Timestamp picker synced with video playback.
  • Per-timestamp action creation (question, completion marker, poll).
  • Video preview inline with the admin editor.

​
Creation flow

Start a video challenge

  • New -> Challenge. Pick the Video template (or add a video action to a standard challenge).

Attach the video

Enter a YouTube URL. The agent can draft a YouTube action for you (#1085) — it resolves the channel, video metadata, thumbnail.

Configure completion

The video config (#1114) sets what counts as “completed”:
  • Full watch
  • X% watched (e.g. 90%)
  • Specific timestamp hit

Add timestamp actions

Pause at any point in the video and add an action: question, poll, checkpoint. Members see the action mid-video (#944, #949).

Set rewards

Distribution works like any other challenge — points, XP, assets, entries.

Preview + publish

The 3-column preview shows the video player experience. Save, flip Live. (Save bug #1286 fixed.)

​
Action components

The video wizard uses dedicated action components (#1076) so the editor works smoothly — each timestamp action has its own UI tuned for video context.

​
Completion UI

The member-facing completion UI (#1089) shows progress against the video:
  • Progress bar synced with playback
  • Timestamp pins marked as you pass them
  • Instant action popups at configured timestamps
  • Completion celebration at the end

​
YouTube MCP integration

When the Nudj Agent drafts a video challenge, it can use YouTube MCP tools (see Nudj Agent) to fetch metadata, thumbnails, and video lists automatically.

Examples

10-minute tutorial with a quiz question every 2 minutes. Members who get 80% correct earn a completion reward.
Recording of a livestream — members watch back within 7 days for bonus points. No mid-video actions, just a completion checkpoint at the end.
2-minute launch reel with a single action at the end: “share this on Twitter”. Paired with a subscribe-to-channel action for amplification.
