Adding a Sign In Form to a Video

In this topic you will learn how to add a sign in form to a video.

The Sign In widget (commonly referred to as a "lead wall", "turnstile" or "gate") is a flexible, powerful tool that lets you track known viewers. It is commonly used to:

  • Generate leads
  • Have learners and trainees sign in
  • Add a gate to a video

Viewers will only have to sign in once, and we'll automatically remember them every time they watch a Brightcove Interactivity video on the same device.
