How to Use
- In a funnel page, add the Video element from the Add Elements Panel or select an existing Video Element.
- From the right hand options panel, select the "Hosted Video" option, select your video and set any playback controls you like.
This feature will ONLY work with the hosted video option and having the video in the FG Funnels Media Library. It will NOT work for videos in Vimeo, YouTube, etc.
Enable the "Generate leads from video" setting from under the navigation options.
- Enter the desired timestamp when you would like to the form to appear (in hours, minutes, or seconds).
- Choose a form to display at the specified timestamp.
- Decide whether to allow users to close the form and continue watching. If this option is disabled, viewers must submit the form for the video to proceed.
Important Notes
- If a user has previously submitted a form for a specific video, the timestamp lock will not appear for two weeks, allowing uninterrupted viewing.
- This feature requires the "Hosting Video" option since this is the only video type that supports time tracking.
