Here’s a sneakpeak of the controls:

The software also features a resume playback option which stops when the customer leaves or navigates the page and resumes the play option from where they stopped when they return back.
Lead generation and Sales control
The newly added options like share gate and CTA gate allow the viewers the ability to have different options to the video.
- Share gate interrupts the viewers
asking them whether they want to share the video on social media networks. - CTA Gate allows the audience to go to sites that the uploader of the video sets when they click on the interactive pictures and texts that pop up in the video.
