Input Field

Configure viewer-editable input fields inside an MP5 experience

Use the Input Field connector when viewers should type text directly inside the MP5 experience. Typical uses include names, feedback, quiz answers, survey responses, preference notes, and free-text messages.

Input Field captures the typed value in the player. Use Submit Form when the value should be submitted, saved, or sent to another system.

What it controls
Notes

Input text layer

The text layer that becomes editable by the viewer.

Select the visual layer where the viewer should type.

Field name

The name used to identify the entered value.

Use a stable name such as viewer_name, email, or feedback_message.

Placeholder

The prompt shown before the viewer types.

Keep it short and specific, such as Type your name here.

Input mode

Whether the field accepts a single line or multiple lines.

Use single-line for short answers and multiline for longer messages.

Empty state

What happens when the viewer leaves the field blank.

Decide whether empty input should be allowed before adding submit behavior.

Text fit

How typed text fits in the input area.

Preview long values, multiline values, and mobile entry when relevant.

Internal description

A note explaining what the input collects.

Useful when a scene has several input fields.

Success Checks

Before publishing an Input Field connector, confirm:

  • The field name is stable and easy to identify.

  • Placeholder text fits inside the input area.

  • Single-line or multiline behavior matches the expected response.

  • Long values do not break the layout.

  • Empty input behavior is intentional.

  • A Submit Form connector exists when the project needs to capture the entered value.
