Detailed Review
hihaho is a brand name of Icademy BV, Kloekhorststraat 29, Assen, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under 01166414. It launched in 2014 and has an ISO 27001 certification dated November 2022.
The product separates the interactive layer from the video file, so you can create a second language version of a video without re-adding every interaction.
Layers on Top of Video
hihaho places a separate interactive layer over a linear video. Layers can be switched on or off, copied, and used to hold all visible text, which makes translated versions of one film easier to keep in step.
AI can generate interactions from the video content, and open-ended questions and chapter menus are standard.
Delivery to an LMS
A video can be shared by link, embedded on a chosen page, or shown in an LMS via a SCORM package or xAPI. The pricing page also lists video data transfer to your LMS or LXP.
hihaho integrates with YouTube, Vimeo, Qumu and Mediasite for existing video libraries.
Pricing by Views
Plans differ by authors, yearly views and upload size: Starter has one author and 75,000 views per year, Professional has 175,000 views, and Enterprise has 400,000 views with a white-label player.
All prices on the page are in euros per year.
Limitations to Consider
hihaho handles video only, so a full course with text modules, assessments and navigation needs another tool next to it. The entry plan has one author, 75,000 views per year and a 1 GB file limit, and the branded player on Professional carries a 'Powered by hihaho' watermark. Entry price is €2,497 per year, which is high for occasional use. For general course building see Easygenerator; for branching video from a story map see Stornaway.
Who Should Use hihaho
Corporate trainers, onboarding teams and safety trainers who produce training films and want questions, chapters and LMS tracking inside the video.
