Integrating video tracking

After setting up the Parse.ly Dashboard, teams that have purchased video tracking can proceed with the instructions linked from this page.

Integration process

Parse.ly recommends familiarization with the following documentation:

1. List of supported video players
   • If you’re using a supported video player, see the supported video player instructions
   • Otherwise, review the custom video instructions
2. Video API reference
3. Example implementation (the custom video instructions page)
4. Advanced configuration options
5. Testing instructions

Expected outcome

The goal of this work is to enable detection of play, pause, and stop events from embedded video platforms on your site and to collect your video metadata. Ultimately, a video listing could appear like the following screenshot:

Once integrated, the tracker automatically sends videostart and vheartbeat events on your behalf. Confirm your site is firing video views via the process outlined in the testing documentation.
