Ask for an email and add a button
Ask signed-out viewers for their email before they watch, and add a call-to-action button such as Book a call.
Two settings help you follow up with viewers: asking for their email before the video plays, and a call-to-action button that sends them somewhere next.
Ask for an email before watching
- Open the video and click the Settings tab in the side panel.
- Under Privacy, open Email before watching and pick an option.
| Option | What viewers see |
|---|---|
| No | Anyone with access watches straight away |
| Ask for email | The form, with Skip and watch |
| Require email | The video plays only after they give an email |
Only signed-out viewers see the form, titled "Enter your email to watch". They enter an email and, optionally, a name, then click Watch video. Signed-in viewers are already known, so they skip it. While the email is required, the comments and downloads stay closed until the viewer enters it. Embedded players ask for it too.
You see who gave their email in Insights, marked Gave email.
Add a call-to-action button
- Open the video and click Share.
- On the Link tab, open Link settings and turn on Call-to-action button.
- Enter the Button label (up to 40 characters) and the Link. Links opened while you recorded show under From your recording. Click Use link to pick one.
- Choose the rest. Changes save as you go, and a preview shows the result.
| Setting | Choices |
|---|---|
| When to show | Throughout the video, Only at the end or From a moment (then set Show from) |
| Where | Under the video, or Over the video in the corner you click in the preview |
| Colour | Brand, Ink, Light and five tints |
| Corners | Pill, Soft corners or Square corners |
The button also appears on the end screen when End screen is on in the Settings tab.
Booking links
If the link is a booking page, such as Calendly or Cal.com, viewers can book in a window over the video instead of leaving it. Tick Open the booking window when the video ends to open it by itself at the end. Booking pages that can't be shown in a window open in a new tab.
Use the same button on new videos
Click Use as my default button. New videos start with it, and turning the button on for a video that has none fills in your default.
See how it performs
Open the video's Insights tab. Call to action counts clicks and the share of views that clicked. For booking links, Meetings booked counts bookings made in the booking window.
