Within the Vidyard platform are some 'Quick' Actions that can be used to help direct your viewer to a defined webpage. This is usually set to display during or after your video content is completed.

The Button URL field on this full frame Quick Action can only be used to direct to a http(s) address rather than an email option (mailto:), but the code found on this article can be used as a workaround.
