    About

    In practice. What you can do with Vidyard.

    Vidyard lets salespeople record and send personalized videos to prospects (pitch, demo, follow-up), with precise tracking of who watched the video and how far — a valuable engagement signal to prioritize follow-ups.

    For a B2B sales team, it's a way to differentiate from a classic text email by embedding a personalized video message, with engagement data directly usable in the CRM.

    Practical uses

    • Send a personalized prospecting video.
    • Track prospect engagement on a video.
    • Embed tracked videos inside a CRM.
