Create your first video bubble

Written for GreetPlayer 5.0.1

Free Works in GreetPlayer Free and Pro.

A video bubble is a round video in the corner of the page. It plays quietly, and when a visitor opens it, it becomes a full player with your greeting and buttons. Here is the quickest way to put one on your whole site.

Step by step

Create a video bubble and show it on every page.

  1. Create the bubble

    The Add New dialog with the Video Bubble tab, Name field and Source options

    Go to GreetPlayer → Media and click Add New. In the dialog choose Video Bubble, enter a Name, pick a Source (for example Self-hosted (media library)) and click Create.

  2. Add the video and poster

    The bubble editor General section with the video Source options highlighted

    In General, choose the video under Upload Default Video (MP4) and an image under Default Video Thumbnail.

  3. Write the greeting

    The Floating Bubble Bubble tab with the Hi Text field highlighted

    Open Floating Bubble → Bubble and type your greeting in Hi Text, for example “Hi there!”.

  4. Add buttons

    The Floating Bubble Buttons tab with Include Buttons and three buttons

    Open Floating Bubble → Buttons, turn on Include Buttons and add a button. Set its Button Action to Another Video or External Link.

  5. Show it on every page

    The Use as Site-wide Bubble switch in the bubble editor

    Click Publish, then turn on Use as Site-wide Bubble in the editor.

Tip Keep the bubble clip short (10–15 seconds) and small. By default the bubble plays its clip, muted, as soon as the page loads. To load it later, change Floating Bubble → Bubble → Video Preview (see autoplay and data use).
