  • Help customers resolve problems faster with the power of video
  • Add a personalized touch to support and customer interactions
  • Log view data from customer cases against their contact record

Track viewer engagement

One of the main features of Vidyard is the ability for users to track their recipients' viewing behavior and receive notifications that indicate who has watched their videos and for how long.

In addition to an email notification, support agents can follow a contact's interaction with their video solutions directly on the case or contact record (as long as the Vidyard video view object has been added to the page layout). 

Support agents can monitor engagement with their videos when the video view objected has been added to the case page layout
