Embedded video is a tried-and-true staple of the online sales funnel, and ClickFunnels makes it quick and easy to spin up new funnels from scratch. With Wistia's embedded player, you'll get a seamless design, plus our suite of lead gen tools and analytics to fine-tune your video strategy and drive more conversions.
Getting started
Recommended embed settings for ClickFunnels:
Inline (Standard) embed
Responsive sizing
Embed in a ClickFunnels JS/HTML Element
Embed in a Custom JS/HTML element
Tip
The Custom JS/HTML Element is the best option for compatibility with all of Wistia's different embed types, embed options, and features.
Copy your embed code from its manage page in Wistia, then add a JS/HTML Element to your page in ClickFunnels:
Open your page in the ClickFunnels editor
Click "Add Element," then under Misc Elements, select the "Custom JS/HTML" element
Click on the newly added element, then click the "Open Code Editor" button
Add your embed code, then click the "X" to close the code editor
To see your video in all its glory, save the page, then click on the "preview" button:
Embed with URLs in a video element
Tip
We highly recommend embedding in a Custom JS/HTML element instead of embedding via URL in a video element whenever possible, but if you’re not able to use a JS/HTML element in ClickFunnels, read on!
Note
The ClickFunnels video element only supports inline embedding via oEmbed URLs. It’s not possible to use a Popover embed or features like embed options, HTML attributes, or JavaScript properties when embedding via URL. These are only supported when embedding in a Custom JS/HTML element.
The video element allows URL-based embedding in your funnels via oEmbed URLs. Learn more in the Add video to ClickFunnels pages article.
In Wistia, select an Inline embed and enable "Use oEmbed URL" under Advanced Settings. Then, add it to a video element in your funnel:
Open your page in the ClickFunnels editor.
Click "Add New Element," then under Media, select "Video."
Under Video Settings, enter your Video URL from Wistia.

Save the page, then click on the "preview" button to see your video. The resulting embed code on your page will be an inline (iframe) embed.
Tip
ClickFunnels offers a variety of custom settings for the video element. Some of these may conflict with the customizations selected in Wistia, so for the best compatibility, we recommend relying primarily on the Wistia customizations.
Selecting the right URL for embedding
We recently introduced a new share link format that starts with /s/ — for example:
https://youraccount.wistia.com/s/abcde12345vwxyz. This is now the default link you'll get from the “Share” button. However, some third-party platforms and funnel builders still expect the legacy Wistia share link, or /medias/ URL, which looks like this: https://youraccount.wistia.com/medias/abcde12345.
If your video is showing a "Media not found" message or a broken preview, this is almost always why. To resolve, use the /medias/ URL instead of the /s/ share link, which you can get by following these steps:
Navigate to the video in your Wistia account so that you're on its manage page. The URL in your browser will look like something like this:
https://youraccount.wistia.com/medias/abcde12345/manage.From here, delete
/managefrom the end of that URL, so that you're left with this:https://youraccount.wistia.com/medias/abcde12345.This trimmed link is your
/medias/URL, which you can paste directly into your platform's video field.
Note
The ID after /s/ is not the same as the ID after /medias/, so it won't work to simply swap the /s/ for /medias/ in your share link. You'll need to specifically grab the unique /medias/ link from the manage page by following the steps above. You can read more about share links in our Share Your Wistia Videos guide.
