How to Use Video Links With Switcher
Switcher supports the ability to add links directly to a video player, and even on a per-video basis. Additionally, links can be associated with Gated Content videos, so that the link can only be accessed once the video access is purchased.

- Expand Video CMS in the navigation bar.
- Click Switcher Players.
- Select the player you would like to add a link to.
- Click Links below the Embed Preview.
- Click Add New.
- Enter the Link Name and URL.
- Toggle on "Only show link if video or subscription has been purchased." if you would like the link to only be accessible after purchasing Gated Content.
- Your link has now been added to your player. If you would like to add multiple links, click Add New and repeat the process.
