Enable events on a YouTube, with Titan Web, in just a few clicks.

Titan Solution

You can now enable events on a YouTube video. For instance, if you add a YouTube via URL or from Salesforce to a web project, you can set a message or custom action if someone plays the video and/or if they pause the video and/or watch it to the end. For example, this could be used in the following scenarios:

• You need to know whether a client has watched the video to the end when signing an agreement to the terms set out in the video.
• You want to update Salesforce that a user has finished watching a training or regulations video.
• You can get statistics on how often a user started watching a video, paused it, or watched it to the end. This could be applied where you need to know whether students watched the learning material.
