Stornaway makes it easy to create, manage, and publish interactive video experiences, without writing a single line of code.

Explore the features that put you in complete control of your interactive content.
Stornaway’s no-code authoring tool is purpose-built for creating adaptive interactive videos, branching scenarios, and decision-based journeys. Unlike traditional editors or slideware, it empowers teams to build scalable, on-brand experiences through a uniquely visual, reusable, and decentralised workflow.
The core element of Stornaway.io is the Story Island – which might be a scene, a location or a clip. Each island is shown as a box, with arrows which show how it links to other islands.
Stornaway’s Story Map makes it super easy to follow the paths that a viewer might take – to go back and take another path, to zoom out and see the whole story.

This is one of Stornaway’s most powerful features: no more waiting to the end to see how your project plays, when it’s too late to change it. You’ll instantly be able to feel how your audience will experience it.
Edit the size, color, shape, and font of your buttons and other on-screen elements directly in your project, with our design editor. Change the button appearance for standard buttons, hover states and after the button has been clicked.

Keep your interactive Stornaway on brand for your company, your audience and your story.
Ask, learn and personalise your experience, all inside Stornaway.
Capture names and emails for lead generation, free-text answers for deeper insight, dropdowns for segmentation, checkboxes for opt-ins – all without ever pulling your viewer out of the video.
Then turn what they tell you into something powerful: a personalised greeting, a tailored pathway, or a smarter recommendation.
Give your viewers the power to jump ahead, dive deep, and control their own journey.
Long videos don’t have to mean long attention spans. With dropdownchapter menus in Stornaway, you can break your content into clickable sections, bite-sized moments, or separate islands. Make it easier for your audience to explore and replay what interests them most.
Give viewers the power to decide when they are ready to continue watching, and them to take the time they need to process and move on.
Highlight the important things that you want the viewer to engage with by making them stay on the screen until a choice is made to restart the video.
Stornaway Voyager lets you bring content from all over the web into your video.
From YouTube and social posts, live streams, and products, simply connect them up through Stornaway to create transformational user journeys viewed through the Stornaway ‘magic window’ that you can embed on your site.

Start designing inclusive interactive experiences that everyone can enjoy.
At Stornaway.io, we believe that interactive video should be accessible to everyone, regardless of language, ability, or the technology they use. That’s why we’ve built powerful accessibility features into every part of our platform.
Stornaway makes it easy to create interactive video content that adapts to each viewers’ choices, without needing any code. Guide learners through custom scenarios, deliver standout, story-driven experiences and get data-driven engagement and outcomes. It’s a smarter way to create video that resonates, remembers, and performs.
Stornaway transforms ordinary 360° footage into captivating, interactive journeys for training, virtual tours, or immersive events. With just a few clicks, you can enable 360° projection within any project, layer in spatially rich binaural audio to anchor viewers in the scene, and build branching, scenario-based experiences that feel real and unforgettable.
This level of immersion boosts engagement, improves learning retention, and lets audiences explore environments (like museums or emergency‑response simulations) without risk or physical presence.

Stornaway collects rich, structured data on viewer choices, engagement paths and logic, going far beyond basic video metrics. Seamlessly integrate with your LMS, LRS, CRM, or analytics stack to unlock powerful insights for personalisation, A/B testing, and strategy. With native support for xAPI, SCORM, Adobe, and Google, your video content becomes a true data-driven asset.
The true power of interactive content lies not only in its ability to engage but in the rich, actionable insights it provides. With Stornaway, you can go far beyond basic “views” and “completions.” Every click, choice, and journey path becomes a data point that tells a deeper story about your audience – what draws them in, what makes them linger, and what drives them away.
Stornaway allows you to track and measure exactly the data that matters to you, all inside your dashboard. Gain insights into viewer behaviour and learning, or analyse engagement and retention across your journey – anything is possible!
Our API is completely flexible, security compliant and can integrate with any platform you use to record user data so you can map your data to specific users or segments.
Take it one step further and send that data to any analytics or visualisation tools you use to really get into the detail and examine trends.
Stornaway makes it easy to personalise interactive videos using the data you already have. Whether it’s learner roles from your LMS, customer segments from your CRM, or behaviour tracked through analytics tools, you can tailor journeys dynamically, from the moment someone hits “play.”
Launch viewers into different paths based on who they are, what they’ve clicked before, or choices they make in real-time. Capture every interaction and feed it back into your CRM, marketing automation, or reporting tools to refine journeys, trigger follow-ups, and measure real impact.
Stornaway makes it easy to create rich, interactive video experiences that can be downloaded and archived for offline use – perfect for desktop, mobile, and live events. Stornaway’s intuitive no-code tools let you design branching narratives and then export them as standalone packages for deployment anywhere, without needing an internet connection.
Stornaway has always hosted interactive projects for you in our cloud. Our Nonlinear Document Format (NDF) extends that, letting you take projects off our servers and run them on your own terms:
Active NDF: host live, playable projects yourself, on your own servers or on Macs and PCs in offline locations. Ideal for secure environments, installations, and exhibitions where connectivity isn’t guaranteed.
Archive NDF: keep a permanent, fully playable “shelf copy” of a project for records, compliance, or future-proofing, independent of Stornaway.
NDF gives organisations with high-security and long-term access needs full control over delivery, security, and longevity. And because these deployments live on your own infrastructure, we build them with you. Our team scopes the right setup for your hardware and environment, gets it deployed, and keeps it running beautifully as devices and browsers evolve. It’s the kind of work we love getting our teeth into, which is why NDF comes as part of our Enterprise Success Partnerships.
Active NDF is licensed annually, with updates and support built in to keep your experience running for years. Every deployment is different, so let’s talk through what you’re building!
With Stornaway, you can create powerful interactive video experiences that boost engagement, drive results, and bring your content to life, all without writing a single line of code.
