Video Gallery Module

Introduction

The Video Gallery module allows you to add up to five videos to your chat, which will play directly in the chat window. To ensure compatibility with most web browsers, please upload MP4 video files, optimally encoded as Web Optimisedso that the video starts before downloading completely. The maximum supported file size is 10 MB, but for optimal performance on mobile devices, aim for 2-3 MB.

tip

For larger videos you can use the external link module in embedded mode to include larger videos. Such videos can be hosted e.g. on YouTube.

Typical Use Cases

This module is ideal for showcasing product demos, tutorials, promotional videos, or any visual content that benefits from being presented in a video format.

How to Use the Module

Upload video

Upload the videos you want to show your customers. Ensure the file size and format recommendations are followed for the best performance.

Preview image

Add an image that will be shown as a preview (1200x630 px) before the video starts. This image acts as a thumbnail and can entice viewers to click on the video.

Video captions

You can add captions in the WebVTT format, which will be displayed at the bottom of the video. Here is an example of a WebVTT text:

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:02.000
This is the first caption text

2
00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:04.300
Enjoy this experience
