How to Add and Set Up the Video Completion Gate Widget on Your Form

The Video Completion Gate widget makes it easy to ensure respondents watch important video content before submitting your form. You can require them to watch the entire video or reach a specific completion percentage, making it useful for training, onboarding, lessons, and compliance forms.
