A pin is a clickable pulse, label, or invisible hotspot interaction that can be placed anywhere on your video. A pin is best placed at a point in the video where a call to action would heighten the video’s engagement. It can be personalised in several ways, from aesthetics to functionality.

Info:

Stylise the pin so that it complements the company branding or video. This will enhance the engagements within your video

  • Setting - choose where and when the pin appears and disappears. Give the pin a name and choose a pulse, a hotspot or just a standard pin

Caution:

Always stay within the safe zone when placing a pin to be sure that your interaction works on all devices

  • Style - make the pin stand out by personalising it. What is the message on the pin? Try different font styles, and label colours to find the best for the video

Tip:

If you need a specific colour or font that is not yet provided, please get in touch with our Customer Success team and we will gladly look after your request

  • Action - choose what the pin will do. Clicking on the pin could prompt an ‘overlay’, a ‘link out’ to another video or webpage, or a ‘jump to’. With ‘no action’ selected the pin can also simply act as a ‘flag’ to bring attention to a certain point within the video

Info:

  • Overlay - Pauses the video and launches an overlay. Customise the overlay to make it stand out. Closing the overlay resumes your video

  • Jump to - Jumps to a given time within the current video

  • Link out - Links to a webpage, email address or phone number

  • Link to video - Links to another Vudoo video
