I've been getting more and more requests from both students attending our online Captivate classes and eLearning development customers to add videos to the Captivate TOC.
Most people think it's impossible to add a video to the TOC. I'm happy to report that it's not only possible, it's simple (although the option is a bit buried).
To begin, choose Insert > Video to open the Insert Video dialog box. Select Multi-Slide Synchronized Video and then Browse for the video you'd like to include on the TOC.
From the Show Video On drop-down menu, choose TOC and then click the OK button.
The video appears as an overlay on your slides. While this be a bit distracting, the video won't actually overlay the slides when the lesson is previewed or published.
Choose Project > Table of Contents and choose Show TOC. Format the TOC entries as needed.
Preview the project (or publish and view it) and the video will appear near the top of the TOC.

Looking for training or help with Adobe Captivate? We've got you covered with an awesome collection of full-day courses, 3-hour mini courses, and mentoring/consulting services.
This could be an awesome way to give the goal/purpose of each lesson in just a few seconds, so the kids have a clear idea on what to focus on. I love it! Thank you. NOW, to make it work for me. I'm slow, slow, slow at learning Captivate. ;)
