Using the Hosted Video Feature

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Add a Video Element:

   • Start by adding a video element to your funnel.

2. Configure Video Settings:

   • Click on the video element and navigate to Video Settings on the left panel.
   • Scroll down to Video Type and select Hosted Video.

3. Select or Upload a Video:

   • Click on Select Video to access your Media Library.
   • If your desired video isn’t uploaded yet, click Upload to add it. Ensure your video is in a mainstream format and under 4GB.

4. Encoding the Video:

   • Once uploaded, double-click the video file to begin encoding. This process is necessary for enabling video quality options and tracking.

   Note: If encoding fails, you can retry by reselecting the video. Videos processing for over a day will automatically be marked as failed.

Playback Control Toggles

Autoplay

• Important: Due to browser regulations, autoplaying videos must start muted on iOS, Safari, Chrome, Android, Firefox, and Edge. Each browser has specific autoplay policies:
  • iOS Autoplay Policy
  • Safari Autoplay Policy
  • Chrome Autoplay Policy
  • Android Autoplay Policy
  • Firefox Autoplay Policy
  • Edge Autoplay Policy

Allow Play/Pause

• Enable or disable the ability for viewers to play or pause the video.

Allow Playback Speed Control

• Allow viewers to adjust the playback speed of the video.

Show Pending Time

• Display the remaining time of the video.

Show Full-Screen Toggle

• Provide an option for viewers to watch the video in full-screen mode.

Show Progress Bar

• Decide whether to show or hide the progress bar and disable seeking.

Redirect Unregistered Visitors

• Redirect visitors who are not registered or have not filled out an opt-in form to another page. This ensures you gather necessary viewer information before they watch the video.

Troubleshooting: Encoded Video Not Selectable

If your video is marked as “encoded” but cannot be selected, try these steps:

1. Wait a Few Minutes: The encoding process might still be running in the background.
2. Refresh the Page: Reload the funnel editor or Media Library to update the status.
3. Retry Encoding: Reselect the file in the Media Library to initiate a new encoding attempt.
4. Check File Format and Size: Ensure your video is in a supported format (e.g., .mp4) and is under 4GB.
