Is there a name for written essays with embedded video snippets, like @worrydream , @seanmcdirmid18, @tomaspetricek use? I've heard "web essay" but that is not very descriptive.

I don't know either but
@KevinSimler did one recently and linked to more examples at the bottom https://twitter.com/kevinsimler/status/1128079359267430400 … He called it "prose plus interactive widgets"
GOING CRITICAL — a
interactive essay!
How to prevent disease, control nuclear reactions, and encourage the spread of ideas. All with playable simulations.

I like “interactive essay” or “playable essay.” Nicky Case calls them “explorable explanations” or just “explorables”:http://explorabl.es

For my purpose (an alternative to papers for publishing software experience research) I want to limit the interaction to clicking on video play buttons. "moving essays"?

haha like “moving pictures”? “movays”?
naming things is so hard
“mixed-media essay”?

I always wanted to call that sort of thing a dynabook. That does connote longer ones, though.
