Using Video Timestamp Locks to Capture Leads
Capture Leads with Video Timestamp Locks
Boost your lead generation by using video timestamp locks. This feature lets you pause a video at a specific point and display a form that viewers must complete to continue watching. It’s a powerful way to engage your audience and turn video views into valuable leads.
Key Benefits
- Restricted Viewing: Limit video playback to a timestamp you choose until the viewer submits a form.
- Higher Engagement: Keep your audience interested and capture their information seamlessly.
- Incentivized Actions: Use compelling video content to encourage sign-ups, registrations, or other conversions.
- Video Lead Funnels: Turn any hosted video into an effective lead generation tool with integrated forms.
How to Set Up a Video Timestamp Lock
Step 1: Add a Hosted Video
In your form or page editor, add a Video element and select the Hosted Video option. Only hosted videos support timestamp tracking.
Step 2: Enable Lead Generation
Turn on the Generate leads from video setting for your video element.
Step 3: Set the Timestamp
Enter the time (in hours, minutes, or seconds) when you want the form to appear and pause the video.
Step 4: Choose a Form
Select which form you want to display at the specified timestamp.
Step 5: Configure Form Behavior
Decide whether viewers can close the form without submitting it. If you disable this option, they must complete the form to resume the video.
Important Notes
- If a viewer has already submitted a form for a specific video, the timestamp lock won’t appear for two weeks, allowing uninterrupted viewing.
- This feature only works with hosted videos; other video types are not supported.
- Video timestamp locks cannot be used with videos embedded inside popups due to potential overlay conflicts.
