What is a Certificate?

Certificates are personalized, downloadable certificates that you can offer your viewers at a certain time in your video.

For example, you might wish to offer a completion certificate to somebody that has finished a video or series of videos.

At the end of the video, you can link to a certificate that is dynamically personalized with their name, the date, and any other information you wish to use within it that is collected or used within the video.

Here is a sample certificate: https://certificates.mindstamp.com/demo

How do I create Certificates?

Certificates are available on the CORE, PRO, and ENTERPRISE plans and are created custom in communication with our team.

The fields you want to use on the certificate
Any other information

Once created, you will receive a link that you can use within your videos to issue this certificate at the time of your choosing!
