Affiliate platform integration

Every Spotlightr user now has an opportunity to become an affiliate and earn omissions just by referring people to Spotlightr via their affiliate link. Affiliate links are automatically attached to the Spotlightr logo in the player as well.

Improved Billing Overview & Options

In an effort to provide a more effective and efficient management of your vooPlayer subscription we have reworked the Billing Section of your account profile. One addition from which everyone will benefit is the automatic generation of PDF invoices for all of your v4 subscription transactions.

Also, newly provided options to update payment methods and manage subscriptions have been implemented as well – this update only applies to all new vooPlayer subscriptions, excluding the ones from the previous version.

JavaScript Development API

We are finally releasing the Spotlightr API documentation which will enable you to create powerful interactions between your web page and vooPlayer videos being played on it. Some of the use case examples include

  • Show content on your page only when a certain time-point in the video is reached.
  • Pre-fill and autocomplete optin boxes in the video with data from your website or URL.
  • Pause or play the video based on certain interactions on the web page

Custom Domain & Site Styles

In addition to the default option of running Spotlightr on yoursubdomain.spotlightr.com we have now provided an easy method which allows you to completely customize the domain on which Spotlightr shows. Combined with new site customization options for all ENTERPRISE users you now have the ability to completely change the apperance of your Spotlightr site and videos.

Coming in June… new WordPress plugin

We have also been working on a new WordPress plugin for Spotlightr v4 (v3 will be supported also) which will ensure that videos will integrate seamlessly with your WordPress sites. We are just wrapping up the development process by testing out compatibility, and expect to release the new plugin in the following month.
