How do I add a call to action at the start of a video?
Place an early call to action without blocking playback or asking viewers to act before they understand the value.
Short answer
Add a Button, Image, Text, or Hotspot interaction at the opening timecode and attach the needed click action. Keep it visible long enough to use, but do not cover essential opening content or require a commitment before the viewer understands what the video offers.
How to do it
- Choose an action that makes sense before the main content, such as selecting a path or identifying the viewer.
- Place the interaction after the first visual settles and write a destination-specific label.
- Set its duration, layout, and click action.
- Decide whether playback continues, pauses, or requires the action.
- Preview first-time and returning-viewer paths on phone and desktop.

Lead Capture or a sales CTA at the first frame can increase abandonment. For marketing content, consider waiting until the viewer has received value; for training, early identification or path selection may be necessary.
