Action cards are a great way to interact with your viewers through your video. You can use them to promote another video, feature a channel, promote a product, or get social followers.
Add as many cards as you want and choose the time each card appears. Each card can also be linked to any URL.
Important:
You can only add action cards to videos you upload to Wix Video, not to videos added to Single Video Players, or from YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook.
To view all of the action cards on a video, you can click the Related Links icon on your video on your site:
Note:
The number of cards on the video at any given time depends on the size of the viewers' screen. If your cards do not fit, they display in a loop and change every few seconds.
On mobile devices, cards appear on the video page and not on the video player during playback. To access the cards on your mobile device tap on the video's cover.
