Over the past few years, video has become an essential part of business growth and success. Not only is it a powerful marketing tool, but video can also create powerful connections at all stages of the customer journey — from generating leads to closing deals to delighting customers. If you aren’t using HubSpot Video yet, it’s time to get started — we have the tools to help you.
HubSpot partnered with Vidyard to develop HubSpot Video — a series of video features woven throughout the marketing, sales, and service hubs. In addition to powering native video features within the platform, Vidyard has also extended video products and capabilities to help you optimize your video strategy with HubSpot.
In short, there are three ways HubSpot users can step-up their video game:
- HubSpot Video (powered by Vidyard)
- Vidyard products for Marketing, Sales, and Services
- Vidyard data integration for HubSpot
While the three tools may sound similar, their functionalities vary. In this post, we’ll dive into what each tool can do and the required subscriptions for access.
HubSpot Video (powered by Vidyard)
HubSpot Video gives you the ability to create, host, manage, customize, and measure video inside HubSpot. Whether you’re a marketer, sales rep, or service rep, you can take advantage of video to provide a delightful experience for your leads and customers.
What does it do?
The functionality of HubSpot Video varies across different hubs within HubSpot.
-
Marketing Hub: Host video files inside the HubSpot platform, optimize them for SEO, add interactive CTAs, and embed videos into your HubSpot website pages, blog posts, and social media posts.
-
Sales Hub: Create and send personalized video messages to your contacts in HubSpot.
-
Service Hub: Create easy-to-follow videos for responding to — and resolving — support tickets faster. Embed videos directly into your knowledge base articles to help customers find answers quickly.
How can I access these tools?
HubSpot Video is included with any Professional or Enterprise subscription in the Marketing, Sales, or Service Hub. Check out HubSpot’s pricing page for more information.
Currently, we’re making HubSpot Video available for free for 90 days to all Sales Hub users. To activate HubSpot Video, check the Knowledge Base article and view clips on what it can do for you.
