Share Tracked Videos From Gmail Without Leaving Your Inbox
Copy a vitelnk share link and paste it into any Gmail compose window. The recipient gets a professional video share page (with password protection, lead capture, CTA, and full analytics), while you get notified the moment they open and watch it. No browser extensions required. Just a link.
Key Benefits
Paste your vitelnk link into any Gmail; recipient gets a professional share page
Get notified the moment they open the link and watch the video
Password protection, lead capture, and CTA all work via the share link
Works on any device: mobile Gmail, desktop, web, iOS app

pasted into the email: the video plays on the vitelnk page, not as an attachment
watched by default before you get the "viewer watched" email (any 10% step)
browser extensions needed to send tracked videos via Gmail
How It Works
Upload your video to vitelnk, set a CTA (a booking link, calendar embed, or URL button), then copy the share link
In Gmail, paste the link as plain text, or go to Share → Email Preview Assets and copy the thumbnail or animated GIF direct URL
Insert the thumbnail or GIF as an image in the Gmail compose window, select it, and hyperlink it to your vitelnk URL so clicking the image opens the video
Send as normal: vitelnk tracks when the link is opened, watch percentage, and CTA clicks, and notifies you when they reach 70% (or the number you set)

Frequently Asked Questions
No. You paste a plain vitelnk share link into Gmail. No extension, no plugin, no OAuth connection to Gmail required. The tracking happens on the vitelnk share page, not inside Gmail itself.
Each share link has its own analytics. If you want per-recipient tracking, create a separate share link for each recipient; it takes seconds and gives you individual watch data per person.
Yes. Set a password on the share link before you copy it. Your Gmail recipient will see the video share page and be prompted to enter the password before they can watch.
Gmail blocks inline video playback for security reasons. Your recipient clicks the vitelnk link, which opens the share page where the video plays natively with full HLS streaming, fast and professional.
After pasting the link, attach a screenshot of your video thumbnail as an image in the Gmail compose window. Link the image to your vitelnk URL so clicking the image goes to the share page.
Yes. Enable the lead capture form on your share link and anyone who watches (regardless of how they received the link) will see the form. Their name and email are added to your vitelnk leads automatically.
