Note: File attachments for landing pages are only available with certain plans. Please contact support@sproutvideo.com with any questions.
You may attach supplemental documents to any SproutVideo-hosted landing page for your videos, live streams, and playlists. Any file type is supported, up to 20 MB in size. Any viewer with access to watch your content hosted with SproutVideo will also have permissions to download the documents you attached.
When viewers download any file attached to your media landing pages, we will track that and display the data in your Account Analytics and the content-specific analytics reports (per video, etc.) Note that upcoming live streams (which is a stream you’ve created but have not started broadcasting) and playlists will not have any other analytics at this time, so you will only see the file attachment download analytics appear for those content types if you have attached documents and any document has been downloaded.
Note that downloads for attached files will apply towards your total monthly bandwidth usage.
