Gate the start, interrupt at a timecode, or ask only after a specific click — whichever costs you least.

In depth
For any company looking to increase its sales, lead generation plays a critical role in ensuring you’re talking to the right customers.
Traditional video content, while effective, doesn’t allow you to engage with your consumers as an interactive video would. You are restricted to the content provided in your video and aren't able to collect any information other than metrics such as views and completion rate.
However, using interactive video as a lead generation tool allows you to take your video content to the next level by capturing valuable information about your viewers to be used for future targeted nurturing .
