YouTube Video Trigger

The YouTube Video trigger is used to fire tags in response to interactions with YouTube videos embedded on web pages.

Data about the video and playback status is sent to the data layer with each interaction.

Configure the trigger in the following manner, with options for capturing various video events:

• Start: Triggers an event when the video begins playing.
• Complete: Activates when the video reaches its conclusion.
• Pause, Seeking, and Buffering: The trigger activates if the video is paused, the scrub bar is moved, or if buffering occurs.
• Progress: Activates at specified video progress points, configurable using either percentage or time threshold values:
  • Percentages: These values signify the proportion of the video that has been viewed. For instance, 5, 20, 50, and 80 represent 5%, 20%, 50%, and 80%, respectively.
  • Time Thresholds: These values represent the number of seconds played by the video. For instance, 5, 15, 60, and 120 denote 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 60 seconds, and 120 seconds, respectively.
