In the Tool Visibility section, specify when the Video Showcase tool should be visible based on your office hours found in the widget settings.
Insert a description that offers viewers an overview of the videos you're showcasing.
Choose how the playback of videos in your playlist should be handled.
You have two options to choose from:
Inside the widget: Videos play directly within the widget.
External popup: Videos open in an external screen for playback.
In order to showcase videos in your widget you will need to first create a video group. This group helps prospects and customers better understand the category or videos they are watching.
Add Video Group - To add a Video Group, click on the green “Add Video Group” button. You will see a popup appear where you can type in the name for your video group, then click on “Save”.
Default Video Group - When you add your first video group, you will see the group named DEFAULT VIDEO GROUP. Every new video group will be created without any videos added to it.
Reorder Video Groups - When you have multiple video groups, you can choose the order in which they display in your widget by dragging the groups either up or down using this handle and reordering them.
Video Group Name - This is the name your video group will display to your viewers when you have more than one video group. If you only have one video group, your viewers will not see the name of the group.
Remove Video Group - If you no longer want or need a video group, you can click the trash can icon to delete the entire group.
If you delete a video group, the added videos will need to be re-added to a different group if you want to keep them in your widget.
To add videos to your video group, click on the green + button.
You can add the following video types:
When adding YouTube videos to your Video Showcase tool, you can either add individual videos or add entire YouTube playlists just by adding a single URL.

To add your playlist to your Video Showcase tool, click on the green + button, and you will see a popup appear. Paste the URL of your YouTube playlist and click on “Save”.
After pasting the playlist URL into your video showcase tool, you will see the entire YouTube playlist populate inside of your ChatHQ widget in the preview window! Adding playlists is an easy way to add many videos at once, and keep them organized by a specific category!
