How to capture leads from videos on WordPress

Video has become the most influential content format for businesses today. It builds trust faster, explains ideas more clearly, and keeps visitors engaged longer than text or images ever could. Yet despite its impact, most WordPress websites still use video only for awareness or education and not for conversion. That gap between attention and conversion is where opportunities are lost.

Viewers watch, absorb your message, and then simply move on without taking action. Moreover, traditional lead capture often forces users to leave the video, scroll back to a form, or click through multiple pages. That friction kills conversions.

But when a form appears inside the video at the perfect moment right when interest is highest, the experience becomes seamless. Viewers don’t have to pause their journey or break their focus. They can enter their details, request a callback, claim an offer, or sign up for a demo without ever leaving the player. This simple shift dramatically increases conversion rates and transforms every video into an opportunity to grow your business.

Interactive Forms Layer

GoDAM’s Interactive Forms Layer lets you embed Gravity Forms, WPForms or more WordPress forms directly inside videos to capture leads. You can trigger the form at a specific timestamp and display it across all devices. This turns your product demos, testimonials, real estate walkthroughs, training modules, and promotional videos into lead magnets.
