What Are Video Forms?

Video forms are fields placed inside a video that let viewers enter information, such as an email, without leaving the player.

Video Forms

Video forms bring a form into the video itself, so a viewer can answer a question or hand over their details in the moment. Instead of sending people to a separate page, the form meets them where they already are.

Every extra step loses viewers, and a form inside the video removes one. 

For example, a viewer enters their email in a form that appears partway through a video to keep watching.

How Do Video Forms Work?

  1. Choose – Decide what information to collect.
  2. Build – Create the fields for the form.
  3. Place – Set it at the right point in the video.
  4. Capture – Collect what viewers enter.
  5. Route – Send the details where they are needed.

Why Are Video Forms Important?

  1. Capture – Collect details inside the video.
  2. Timing – Ask while a viewer is engaged.
  3. Ease – Remove the jump to a separate page.
  4. Insight – Tie responses to what viewers watched.
