Using a Video Element in the Funnel Builder
Add, customize, and track videos in your funnels using BizStackPro’s Video Element — supporting YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, HTML5, Custom Embed, and Hosted Videos.
Using Video to Increase Engagement and Guide Visitor Actions
Video content can help explain offers faster, build trust, and keep visitors engaged longer than text-only funnel pages.
The BizStackPro Video Element supports multiple video sources including YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, HTML5, Custom Embed, and Hosted Videos with advanced playback and tracking controls.
Incorrect video configuration, autoplay issues, or missing tracking setup can reduce engagement visibility and create inconsistent experiences across devices and browsers.
This guide explains how to add and customize videos, configure playback settings, manage Hosted Video controls, and trigger workflows based on viewer watch percentages inside BizStackPro funnels.
Before configuring playback controls and workflow tracking, it helps to understand how different video types and Hosted Video settings function inside the BizStackPro Funnel Builder.
Overview
Adding video to your funnel pages can increase engagement, improve clarity, and help visitors move forward with confidence. The Video Element in the Funnel Builder supports multiple video sources and includes settings for layout, controls, and (for Hosted Videos) watch-percentage tracking.
Quick tip: If you want to trigger workflows based on how much of a video someone watches, use Hosted Videos and the Video Tracking workflow trigger.
Add a Video Element to Your Funnel Page
- Go to Sites → Funnels and open the funnel step you want to edit.
- In the builder, drag the Video element onto your page.
- Click the element to open Video Settings on the right.
- Configure the video under the General tab first, then fine-tune under Advanced.
Note: When the Video Type and Video URL match correctly, the video should appear inside the element right away.
Supported Video Types
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- Wistia
- HTML5
- Custom Embed
- Hosted Video (uploaded to BizStackPro)
Best practice: Use embed types (YouTube/Vimeo/Wistia) for public videos and Hosted Video for tighter control and workflow-based tracking.
General Video Settings
In Video Settings → General, you can typically control layout and playback behavior.
- Spacing: padding and margins around the video element.
- Video size: width options (availability depends on source type).
- Playback options: autoplay, mute on start, and controls (varies by type).
- Quality: 480p, 720p, 1080p, or Auto (depending on video/source).
Heads up: Some browsers restrict autoplay unless the video starts muted. If autoplay doesn’t work, try enabling Mute at start.
Hosted Video Controls
Hosted Videos include extra control toggles that help you shape the viewing experience.
- Play / Pause
- Playback Speed (commonly 0.5× to 2×)
- Full Screen
- Progress Bar (show/hide)
- Pending Time
- Disable Seeking (prevents skipping ahead)
Example: If the video is part of an onboarding or training step, disabling seeking can help ensure viewers watch the content in sequence.
Advanced Video Settings
In the Advanced tab you can fine-tune display and styling.
- Border styles (radius, thickness, color where available)
- Device display rules (desktop vs. mobile)
- CSS selector (useful for custom styling or tracking)
Track Hosted Video Watch Percentage
Hosted Videos can trigger workflows based on how much a contact watched (for example, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 90%).
Step 1 — Configure the Video
- Disable Show Progress Bar (recommended for tracking accuracy).
- Enable Redirect Unregistered Visitors and set a redirect URL.
Step 2 — Build the Workflow Trigger
- Create a Workflow and choose the trigger Video Tracking.
- Set the Video field to is any of and select the correct hosted video from Media.
- Add the filter Video duration (%) and choose an operator (equals / greater than / less than).
- Enter the percentage you want to track, then save.
Important: Video Tracking triggers typically only fire for people who exist as contacts in your BizStackPro CRM.
Step 3 — Add Actions
- Send a follow-up email or SMS
- Add/remove tags
- Notify a team member
- Start another workflow
