Video Startup Quality Selection
Select how you'd like your video to start playing. As fast as possible in a lower quality to catch your viewer sooner? Or are you not super concerned with speed for a specific video and you'd like to give your viewer a crisper image, even if they have to wait a bit?
Now you can select how your video starts up from the Vid Settings page. Simply go to the Play Options section and select an option under 'Video Startup Quality'.

If you're not sure, we recommend sticking to the 'Auto' option, which will always play the best resolution possible for the video to play fast, given the viewer's internet speed.
Note: this feature relates only to
startup
quality. After the initial seconds, your video will fall back to using our adaptive bitrate streaming and will play as normally.
πŸ†™ Improvements
  • CTAs: Show to returning viewers
We have added an option to the CTA feature to show the CTA to a returning viewer ONLY if the viewer reached the CTA time during their previous session (and, therefore, saw the CTA before).
You can find and enable the new option in each individual CTA, under
Show to returning viewers > Only When Triggered Before

  • Restricting closed caption file types
To prevent any friction when using our closed captions feature, we restricted the accepted file types to be only .vtt, .scc and .srt
  • Smart Vids choices sent to Hubspot
You can now pass Smart Vids selections as contact activity to HubSpot. This way, you can trigger specific email campaigns based on what your user has selected while interacting with your Smart Vid.
The choices work the same way as current Play Gates or Tags are being sent to HubSpot, so there's nothing new to learn if you're already familiar with those. Just make sure your integration is turned on πŸ˜‰

πŸ› Bug Fixes
  • In the past, viewers that came to your website a second time to watch a brand new video, were treated as returning viewers. We have fixed this, so returning viewers are only counted if they're watching the same video, and they're not tied to the domain at all.
