Managing Interactive Links In The Video Library
The ability to add interactive links videos makes it super convenient to manage your content and share it with your audience. It's common to add links to your business website, items you'd like viewers to purchase, and social media platforms. The links will display to the right of the video within your Switcher Player, making it easy for viewers to interact with them.
You can add these interactive links in two places: within your Switcher Dashboard and within the Switcher app.

Adding Links Within The Switcher Dashboard
Adding interactive links to your videos within the Video Library is quick and easy. Start by logging into your Dashboard, and then click on "Video Library" within the Video CMS tab on the left-hand menu
All of the videos currently in your Video Library are listed here. Find the video that you wish to add interactive links to, and click the "Edit" icon (it looks like a pencil).
A window with the video's details opens. Scroll down and find the Links section. Click on "Add Links".
A warning appears, stating that "These links will appear in the details tab of this video in every player that you add it to." This is good, as it synchronizes the changes across the board for this respective video.
Click "Add New".
Now, you can add the URLs that you want to appear on this video, as well as an appropriate title for the URL. You can add up to three links.
Once you're done, click the orange "SAVE" button.
The video's stats window has now updated to include your amount of links:
Click the orange "SAVE" button when you're done. Now, when viewing your video in a Switcher Player, it will show your interactive links!
Adding Links Within The Switcher App
You can also add your interactive links right from within the Switcher app itself! The process is mostly the same as via the Dashboard, and it is outlined below.
To start, open the Switcher app on your main switching device. Navigate to the Video Library (NOTE: If you see Local Recordings at the top, tap on it to toggle to Video Library instead.
Tap on the video you'd like to add links to, and then tap on the icon with the three horizontal dots to access a popup menu. Choose "Edit Details".
Toward the bottom of the window is a section for "Links". Tap on it.
You can now see the current links and add new links if desired!
