Welcome to the Simple Video Management (SVMS) plugin.
SVMS is your complete WordPress video player and management system.
Please take a look around. We’ve put together some walkthroughs and tutorials and of course, you can always reach to our terrific Support Team if you have questions, suggestions, or challenges with SVMS.
Thanks again for installing SVMS
Quick Start
Follow these steps to quickly get started with SVMS
What do I need to know before I start?
Before you add a video to SVMS, you will need to know the URL address of the video and what the source of the video (YouTube, Vimeo, or a file on your server mp4, ogg, etc.). Once you have that information, you can just follow the prompts to finish adding the video.
Managing and Grouping
Videos in the SVMS library can be assigned to groups and tagged with keywords to help you locate and manage them. When you are looking for a specific set of videos, you can filter the list of them using the “search” feature to find them by group and or keyword tag.
Integrations
SVMS support most of the popular list managers like AWeber, GetResponse, Constant Contact and MailChimp along with the more robust CRM services like Infusionsoft, Active Campaign, and Convert Kit. To integrate one or more of these services, click on the “Settings” tab and add the required information and complete the process.
You can then select the specific Integration you would like to use when you set up your video.
Advanced: Using Grids and Lightbox Grids
Grids and LightBox grids are advanced features of SVMS and can be very powerful. A “grid” is a set of videos that are laid out side-by-side across the screen and down the screen in rows. This looks like, well, a grid. The Lightbox grid is a grid that pops over the page and you can create a grid that contains multiple embedded LightBox videos. When the video image is clicked, a Lightbox appears with a larger video. This is great for creating a course or tutorial grid.
The best way to understand girds and lighbox grids is to add a few videos to your SVMS library and then create some grids.
Advanced Section
The SVMS Advanced Section includes:
- The ability to “gate” the video. This forces the viewer to “open the gate” to continue viewing. In most cases the open the gate the view is asked for their name and email address, but this feature can be used to make an offer or another announcement during the video.
- The checkbox to add the video to the lightbox and gid lists.
- The checkbox to add the video to the Simple Autowebinar System “While You Wait” list.
- Adding tags to a viewer’s information if they have watched a specific amount of the video.
There is more detail on these features in the user documentation on the NAMSToolkit site.
