How to set up the Vidyard for Gong integration
This article explains how to set up and get started with Vidyard’s integration for Gong.
Once connected, the integration allows you to gain insight into how Vidyard videos influence your deal cycles. Each time an identified viewer watches a video, Vidyard shares engagement events with Gong to analyze as part of the communications that your team has with various contacts during a deal.
Set up requirements
- Your user in Gong must be a Technical Administrator
- You must have access to the top-level parent folder in your Vidyard account
- Your user in Vidyard must belong to a Team with permission to Edit Integrations

Video engagement activity in Gong
When a contact watches a video and becomes an identified viewer, Vidyard posts engagement events to the deal activity timeline in Gong.
Video views are associated with Deals in Gong by matching the viewer’s email address to a contact attached to the Deal.
Gong also associates views to a Deal by email domain. This allows you to “find more friends” by showing activity from contacts who may not be part of the Deal or listed on the opportunity or account records in your CRM.
Events are posted for each quartile milestone that the viewer reaches in the video – 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. You’ll find video engagement events on both the deal activity page and account activity page in Gong.
Each engagement event contains the following data:
| Data | Description |
| View time (eventTime) | The time that the event occurred (timezone based on settings in Gong) |
| Viewer email | The email address of the contact associated with the event |
| Video name | The name of the video that was watched |
| Vidyard folder name | The name of the folder in Vidyard where the video is located |
| Percentage watched (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) | How much of the video was watched (expressed as a percentage) |
You can also select View More Info to go directly to the video edit page in your Vidyard account:

Frequently asked questions
What access does Vidyard have to my Gong account?
When you connect Vidyard to Gong, you are asked to allow Vidyard to access Gong’s public API in order to send user engagement data events to Gong.

Does Vidyard backfill data from before the integration was connected?
No. Vidyard will not pass any data to Gong that was collected from identified viewers prior to the integration being connected.

If a contact with the same email address is duplicated across multiple deals, the video engagement event will be associated with each of the deals where the contact is listed.
