Description
The Videos add-on gives Popup Maker the ability to embed YouTube and Vimeo videos inside popups, automatically pausing playback when the visitor closes the window and resuming at the correct point the next time it is opened. It works for those who use welcome popups, product demos, webinar messages, or explanatory clips on landing pages and want to avoid audio playing behind the screen.
Main Features of Videos
- Embed YouTube videos
Inserts YouTube videos directly into the popup content via URL. - Vimeo support
Renders videos hosted on Vimeo inside Popup Maker popups. - Automatic pause on close
Stops playback as soon as the visitor closes the popup window. - Resume at the exact point
Resumes the video at the second where it was paused when the popup is reopened. - Compatibility with Popup Maker triggers
Works alongside the base plugin’s native triggers, conditions, and targeting.
Benefits of Videos
- Frictionless video messages
Communicates in an audiovisual format without leaving audio playing behind the screen. - Consistent visitor experience
The user continues where they left off when reopening the popup, without starting over. - Higher campaign engagement
Short videos inside the popup increase attention compared with static text. - No-code setup
Simply paste the video URL, without manually editing embeds or scripts.
Who Is Videos For?
- Those who use Popup Maker to present product demos, guided tours, or video welcome messages.
- Those who promote webinars, courses, and launches and want a trailer playing inside the popup.
- Those who work with lead capture landing pages and want to replace the call-to-action text with a short explanatory video.
How to Download Videos
The Videos add-on is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the .zip, and activate it with Popup Maker already installed on the site. From there, the video feature becomes available in the popup content editor.
Designed for those who already work with Popup Maker and want to expand their range of popup windows with audiovisual content, Videos solves a recurring issue: YouTube and Vimeo videos that keep playing after the popup is closed. With automatic pause and resume, the component keeps control over the sound and the time visitors spend on each interaction.
