Go to the Video Scenarios tab to search and browse video senarios. Users can search for video scenarios and filter by most recent, most liked most viewed and by keyword.

Participating in a video scenario

To participate in a Video Scenario, simply click on the title or the thumbnail on the scenario in the Video Scenario tab or from the video scenario entry in the stream.

See examples of both below.

Clicking on the title or thumbnail will cause an overlay to pop-up like the one below.

If this is the first time you have viewed this scenario (or first time without watching the video in its entirety), you will see a video that is viewable with the second video and comment area greyed-out.

Comment area greyed

Watch the scenario video by clicking on the play button of the first video.

Once the entire video has been played, the comment area is ungreyed-out and is available for commenting as seen below but the second video can’t be watched until the comment has been posted as seen below.

Comment area is ungreyed

Once the comment has been posted, the user can watch the scenario result video and see their own comment posted. If others had taken the video scenario already, those comments would also be displayed.
