You can upload your videos to the Dashboard and then insert them in your Flows, Smart Tips, and other Whatfix content to enhance your content with additional information. The video plays in a Pop-up on the same page when triggered.
You can use the video links from various platforms to embed videos in Whatfix Pop-ups. For more information on various video platforms supported by Whatfix, see What are the video platforms supported by Whatfix?.
You can create Videos on the Dashboard or by using Whatfix Studio.
Whatfix recommends using the Studio to create static content as Auto tags are added to the content only when content is created using Whatfix Studio. Auto tags help in segmenting content so that they appear contextually. If static content is created using the Dashboard, Content creators have to add these tags manually so they appear contextually in widgets like Self Help and Task List.
Use the following steps to create Videos using Whatfix Studio:
Log in to the application where you want to create content, and then launch the Whatfix Studio.
On the Whatfix Studio, click Video.
Enter Video Display Text, Video URL, Tags, and Search keywords.
You can only add a URL of the video when creating video using Whatfix Studio.
- Click Save Video.
You can view the video content that you just created in the Draft Stage of the Dashboard.
A link is generated for the video uploaded from your local drive/library. You can find this link inside the video content you created on the Dashboard and then insert it in your Flows, Smart Tips, and other Whatfix content.
The video you create is stored in the Whatfix cloud.
