Here at ZenGengo we try to make it as simple and easy as possible for teachers to create engaging and interactive language learning experiences. Our Video Gap Fill assignment type can automatically pull in the subtitles from thousands of YouTube videos and allow you to quickly and easily create a gap fill activity from the video.
However, due to technical restrictions, it is currently not possible to use the Video Gap Fill activity with certain YouTube videos.
All is not lost though, because you can also create video gap fill activities using the Text Gap fill assignment type. Here's how.

You have now created an interactive video gap fill activity:
