Gate, brand and premiere a video

Around the video sets what a viewer sees before, during and after a recording plays. Open a recording in Content and find it under its video.

A recording on your event page or in a gallery can do more than play: it can collect the email of everyone who watches, point them to your next event, and suggest the next video.

Under Ask for an email choose Never, Before it plays or Partway through (enter the time as minutes:seconds, such as 5:00; it can’t be after the end). Any email unlocks it. People join your newsletter only if they tick the box. Select Copy the link to share: visitors enter their email, then it plays, and they show in People.

Under Button, show Register for your next event, My own button (enter the Button text and Link), or No button. Choose when it appears with Show from; blank means at the end.

Turn on Suggest what to watch next when it ends to show an end card.

Select Save. Viewers see the changes the next time the video loads. More options and Fewer options show and hide the settings; a one-line summary stays visible, such as “Asks for an email before it plays”.

A premiere plays the recording at a set time for everyone on the event page, with questions and polls beside it. People can ask for a reminder.

Link the recording to an event

A recording that isn’t linked to an event shows Link this recording to an event to premiere it on the event page.

Pick a time

Choose a date and time under Starts, then select Put it on the event page.

Publish the page

The premiere is added to your event page draft. Publish the page when it looks right; see Publish an event page.

The status reads Premieres with the time, Playing now for everyone, or Premiered, and the recording is on demand afterwards. Select Change the time to move it.
