Getting a viewer to watch your video all the way to the end is a win. But what happens next matters just as much. Without an End of Video Action, your video simply freezes on the last frame — and that momentum disappears. **End of Video Actions** let you define exactly what happens when your video ends, so you can keep the viewer engaged and guide them toward the next step — whether that's an offer, another page, or simply a strong visual call to action. ### **Available Actions** #### **Pause** The video stops on the last frame when it ends. Simple and clean — best used when your video itself already contains a strong closing message or on-screen CTA that you want to leave visible. #### **Display Thumbnail** ⭐ *Recommended* A custom image appears once the video ends, replacing the final frame. This is a powerful opportunity to show a visually compelling call to action — a product image, an offer graphic, or a prompt to click — right at the moment your viewer is most engaged. Pair this with a CTA button for maximum impact. #### **Loop** The video automatically restarts from the beginning once it ends. Best suited for short ambient or background videos where continuous playback makes sense. #### **Countdown Timer / Redirect** ⭐ *Recommended* A countdown timer appears with a custom message, then automatically redirects the viewer to any URL you choose — your offer page, a checkout page, a registration form, or anywhere else you want to send them. This is one of the most effective end-of-video actions for driving conversions, as it creates urgency and removes friction by taking the viewer directly to the next step. **Tip:**Our Recommendation is the **Display Thumbnail** and **Countdown Timer / Redirect** options. These options tend to have the biggest impact on viewer action and conversions. If your goal is to drive clicks or sales, start with one of these two. ### **How to Set It Up** **CLICK** below for a step by step walkthrough.
