Founder Video

Build trust and connection with personal video messages from your team.

Founder Video displays a floating video bubble on your site. Visitors can click to watch a personal message from you or your team, building trust and increasing conversions.

Studies show that personal video messages can increase conversion rates by 10-25% compared to static content.

How It Works

  1. A video thumbnail bubble appears in the corner of the page
  2. Visitor clicks to expand and play the video
  3. Optional CTA button appears after video plays
  4. Visitor can close the video at any time

Configuration

Content Settings

OptionDescriptionExample
Video URLDirect link to your video file or embedLoom, Vimeo, or direct MP4
Thumbnail URLImage shown before video playsYour face or a branded frame

Video Sources

RevDock supports videos from:

  • Loom — Paste the share URL
  • Vimeo — Use the video ID or embed URL
  • Direct MP4 — Any publicly accessible video file
  • YouTube — Embed URL (may have branding)

For best results, use square or vertical videos (1:1 or 9:16 aspect ratio). Horizontal videos work but display smaller in the bubble.

Page Targeting

Control which pages show the founder video.

OptionDescription
Target PagesOnly show on these pages (empty = all)
Exclude PagesNever show on these pages

Wildcard Patterns

/pricing/*        → matches /pricing/pro, /pricing/enterprise
*/checkout        → matches /en/checkout, /fr/checkout
/about            → matches exactly /about

Recommended targeting:

  • Target: /pricing, /, /features
  • Exclude: /blog/*, /docs/*, /dashboard/*

Best Practices

  1. Keep it short — 30-90 seconds is ideal. Respect visitor time.
  2. Be authentic — Scripted is fine, but genuine warmth matters more than polish
  3. Show your face — The thumbnail should clearly show a person
  4. Add value — Don't just say "welcome" — share a tip, insight, or offer
  5. Mobile test — Ensure the bubble doesn't block important content on small screens
