What Can HubSpot Video Do?
HubSpot Video powered by Vidyard has a few really neat features. First, you can host your video on HubSpot in addition to YouTube and wherever else you might have them. This is beneficial for us marketers because YouTube suggests videos from your competitors or just distracts your prospect in hopes that they stay on their platform and continue to consume more YouTube content. You're goal, of course, is to get that future customer to take action based upon watching the video. The first step in doing so is eliminating those distractions.
The second thing that you can do with HubSpot Video is add a call to action or form to the video itself. With HubSpot Video, you are limited to adding a CTA or form at the beginning or end of the video.
