How do I create a Social Sharing CTA Action/Event?
With Vidyard Custom Actions/Events, you are able to program your video end/post roll to show anything you wish. This could be one to share your webpage socially!
Social sharing buttons are a great way to encourage your viewer to share your content across their favourite social channels. This could be a professional post to LinkedIn, a more casual post to Facebook, a quick tweet or a direct email.
The example code below will provide a sleek template that you can add to your videos. The default will include buttons for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Email. You can edit these further in the HTML.
