Quickly Add Video Popups to GoHighLevel Website

This guide covers adding a video popup that appears on top of your GoHighLevel funnel page, like a promo, demo, or announcement, using WiserNotify.

Connecting it takes a few minutes and needs no custom code.

Looking for GoHighLevel’s Native Gated Video Instead?

“Video popup” on GoHighLevel can mean two different things. If you’re looking for the built-in gated video element in GoHighLevel’s own funnel builder, the kind that shows a form partway through a video and lets visitors continue watching after they submit, that’s a native GHL feature, not something WiserNotify adds or controls.

Check GoHighLevel’s own funnel editor or their support docs for that specific setup. The rest of this guide covers the other kind of video popup, a promotional overlay added through WiserNotify.

How to Add a Video Popup to GoHighLevel

Watch the full walkthrough below, or follow the written steps underneath.

Step 1: Get Your WiserNotify Pixel Code

1. Sign up for WiserNotify. Create a free account at wisernotify.com, or log in if you already have one, then go to the Install Pixel page and click Copy Code.

Step 2: Add the Pixel Code to GoHighLevel

1. In your GHL account, go to Sites > Funnels, open the funnel, and click Edit.

2. Go to Settings > Head Tracking Code, paste the pixel code there, and save.

Step 3: Verify the Install

1. Visit your funnel page once, then go back to the WiserNotify pixel page and click Verify pixel installation. You should see a “pixel code has been detected successfully” message.

Step 4: Connect Lead and Sales Data (Optional)

This step is only needed if you want notifications that show real leads or sales, separate from the video popup itself.

1. Get your webhook URL. In WiserNotify, go to GoHighLevel Integration, click Integrate, enter a connection name, and click Create.

2. Add a trigger in GHL. Go to Automation > Workflows, click Create Workflow, and add a trigger, either Form Submitted for lead activity or Payment Received for sales activity.

3. Send the data to WiserNotify. Add a Webhook action, paste in the webhook URL from step 1, map the fields, and publish the workflow.

See the full GoHighLevel integration guide for the complete workflow setup, including screenshots for every field. If you’d rather start with something simpler, adding Facebook reviews to GoHighLevel uses this same connection.

Step 5: Create the Video Popup Widget

1. In WiserNotify, go to the Widgets section, select Video popup from the widget options, and click Add. WiserNotify’s video popup widget guide covers every option in this editor in more depth.

2. Customize the design. Add your video, edit the popup text (dynamic placeholders like {Name} or {Product} are supported), set up a clickable CTA button with its own link and styling, and choose the position, animation, and color style for both mobile and desktop.

3. Set the timing and configure display settings. Under Timing Control, set an initial delay before the popup appears and how long it stays visible. Choose which funnel pages it should appear on, add any advanced targeting you need, then click Save and Publish.

4. Test it on your live funnel. Visit your funnel page in a private or incognito window to confirm the popup appears the way you configured it.

Best Practices for Creating an Engaging Video Popup

These best practices keep your video popup effective without disrupting the funnel:

1. Keep Videos Short and Clear

Why: Visitors prefer concise, targeted content.

• Limit videos to 30-60 seconds and focus on one message or call-to-action.

2. Trigger Popups Strategically

Why: Poorly timed popups can disrupt the funnel experience.

• Trigger the popup when visitors click a button or scroll to a specific point.
• Use exit-intent popups for visitors about to leave the funnel.

3. Optimize for Mobile Devices

Why: Many visitors reach GHL funnels through mobile ads.

• Use responsive designs and test the popup on different screen sizes.

4. Provide Clear Dismiss Options

Why: Visitors should have control over their browsing experience.

• Add a visible close button and allow dismissal by clicking outside the popup.

5. Match Your Branding

Why: Consistent design builds trust and keeps the funnel cohesive.

• Align popup colors, fonts, and styles with your funnel’s branding.

6. Test and Optimize

Why: Ongoing testing helps improve engagement and conversions.

• Run A/B tests on different designs, triggers, and video content.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Autoplaying with sound on load: a video that blasts audio the moment someone lands on the page is one of the fastest ways to make them leave. Keep it muted by default.
• Firing the popup instantly: showing it before a visitor has seen any content feels like an ambush. Give them a few seconds first.
• No mobile testing: a popup that looks fine on desktop can easily cover the whole screen or break on a phone. Always check both.
• Skipping the close button: a popup a visitor can’t easily dismiss creates frustration that outweighs whatever the video was trying to sell.
• Using a huge, uncompressed video file: this slows the whole funnel page down, not just the popup. Host it externally on YouTube or Vimeo instead of uploading it directly.

How to Measure Video Popup Performance

A popup that shows up doesn’t necessarily mean it’s helping your funnel convert.

• Popup views and CTA clicks: both in your WiserNotify dashboard, together they show whether the offer is landing.
• Close-without-interaction rate: a high number here points to timing, not the video.
• Funnel conversion rate: compare your funnel’s opt-in or sale rate before and after adding the popup.
• Page speed: a quick before-and-after test rules out the video slowing down your funnel.

Change one variable at a time, timing, video, or targeting, so you know what moved the number.

Conclusion

Adding a video popup to your GoHighLevel funnel pages is an effective way to engage visitors, deliver your message, and boost conversions.

Connecting WiserNotify takes a few minutes, and once it’s set up, you can build and manage the popup entirely from the dashboard without touching code.

Follow the best practices above, keep it short, well-timed, and easy to dismiss, and your video popup will add to the funnel instead of getting in the way.
