3 tools to chat online around shared videos

Last updated on 12 May 2026

Video remains the dominant medium in all inverted class experiences.Videos can be given greater strength and engagement by allowing learners to interact with them. Annotate, comment, discuss around a video make it possible to go even further and increase the effectiveness of the messages.

Here are three online tools already presented on Tice Tools that allow you to offer discussions and exchanges centered on a video.

Vialogues

Vialogues is one of those services that allows you to add a layer of interactivity to a video. As I indicated in thearticle I dedicated to him some time agoVialogues is the contraction of video + dialogues. It is as simple as that. You can upload your own videos or choose one from YouTube. You will then be able to insert questions and comments at specific points in the video and start the dialogue with your learners. Public or private, the video can be shared by email or integrated into a site or a classroom blog.

Videonotes

VideoNotes is a simple and effective tool for taking notes on a video. I had it presented here on Tice Tools. It is very convenient to take notes on the fly while watching a video. The screen is divided in two. On the right you watch the video, on the left you see your notebook. The strong point of this utility? It will remember where in the video you take a note or write a comment. The application will install an insertion point in your video, which will then make it easier to navigate through your notes. Practical. Notes that you will be able to save on Google Drive and that you will especially be able to share afterwards.

MoocNote

The third tool I propose in this short list is a bit similar to the previous one. MoocNote makes it possible to take notes on a video and then easily find them thanks to insertion points created automatically by the tool or via an integrated search engine. I had done the full presentation of MoocNote here on Tice Tools. The real added value of MoocNote is the ability to share a video or video collection with one person or with an entire group. You will be able to insert questions into a video and invite the people with whom you shared them to answer them.
