Step-by-Step guide on How to Gate your video with a Form

Here's a quick video:

Step 1: Create Your Form


Step 2: Create a Call-to-Action (CTA) with the Form

  1. Go to Assets > Calls to Action.

  2. Click the blue “+” button to create a new CTA.

  3. Fill out the following fields:

    • Name: For your reference.

    • Owner: Automatically set to you.

    • Type: Select “Form”.

    • Form: Choose the form you just created.

    • Gate Video: Toggle this ON to require form submission before video plays.

    • Select Button Text


      Note: You can customize the button text.

    • Click Save and Close.



Step 3: Attach the Gated CTA to a Video

  1. Go to the video where you want to add the form.

  2. Scroll down to the Calls-to-Action section.

  3. Click “+” to add a CTA.

  4. Select the form-gate CTA that you created.

That’s it! Your video is now gated. When viewers try to play the video, they’ll be prompted to complete the form first.


Step 4: Test the Viewer Experience

To make sure everything is working properly:

  1. Open the video link in an incognito window.

  2. Click play—you should be prompted with your form.

  3. After form completion, the video will begin playing automatically.

Bonus: If someone tries to exit the page, the exit-intent pop-up will also display the form.

Benefits: This method effectively collects and qualifies leads by requiring users to provide contact information before viewing your content.
