You have the ability to create “pop-up” windows within your videos that hold text or images that can link to another URL when selected. Within Viostream, these are referred to as Overlays
Use these links to point viewers to particular pages that you would like to direct traffic to. Time this with a relevant moment in one of your videos, and these can be very effective.
