How to Add a Video Button to your Simplebooklet

Open your Dashboard and scroll to the Simplebooklet you want to add a link hotspot to.

Click the Edit tab.



Select the page where you want to add the button.

In the left-hand toolbar, click the Buttons button.



From the drop-down menu, select Video



Choose between two options for adding a video:

Embed:

Add a link to a video hosted on platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, or Google Drive.

Simply paste the URL of the video you want to link to.

Once you're ready, click Add to add the video to your booklet.

Upload:

Upload a video file directly from your device (MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, FLV, MKV, or WEBM up to 50MB).

Click the Choose File button and select your video file from your device.

For animated GIF files, use the image upload feature.

Customize your video settings (only for the Upload option):

Autoplay on Open: Automatically play the video when the page is opened.

Muted Audio: Play the video without sound by default.

Hide Video Playbar: Hide the video controls.

Loop Video: Make the video play continuously in a loop.

Uploading offers more customization options and ensures that your video appears without external branding for a cleaner look.

Click on the button to reposition it using the Element Editor.



Preview your booklet to ensure that everything works as expected.



Your video button is now added and ready to be interacted with!
