With BombBomb's call-to-action banners, your recipient will be able to click on a hyperlink that appears at the end of your video. It's a great way to direct people to your website, send them to a form to fill out, etc. It helps your recipient quickly and easily take the next step, right from your video landing page.
Important Note: With the exception of the Android mobile app, once a call-to-action banner has been added to a video, it can't be removed or changed. (However, you can duplicate the video, and the CTA banner will be removed.) Call-to-action banners also cannot be added to existing videos.
Watch this video or keep reading below to learn how.
Here are the step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Go to your Videos tab and click "New Video." (You can also start recording a new video from an email template, the Quick Send button, or the Chrome extension.)
Step 2: Record your video, and hit the red square button when you're done recording.
Important Note: The CTA will need 30 seconds to show up, make sure you record for at least 30 seconds!
Pro Tip: When recording, make sure to direct people to your link and point downwards so your recipient knows where to click!
Step 3: On the edit screen, you can either toggle on CTA or click "Add a Call-to-Action Banner."
Step 4: Enter the text of your call-to-action under Banner Title and add the link you'd like to direct them to. Then click "Save CTA." Then click the orange "Save" button in the top right.
Step 5: Share your video as usual. Now when your recipient views your video, they will see the call-to-action in the last three seconds of your video on the top right hand corner.
Note: You can see a count of CTA clicks on videos with a CTA in your Videos tab and in Video Engagement! Yay!

I need to know how to CHANGE the CTA after I've saved it. Can you help?
Hi April!
Thanks for reaching out and for your question!
Currently there is not a way to change the CTA from the desktop application (via BombBomb.com) once it has been added and recorded.
If you are an Android user, however, you now have the ability from within the Mobile App to go in and edit the video's CTA. This feature is only available on the Android though, and we hope the iPhone app will follow in the near future.
Please let us know if you have any other questions and we are happy to assist!
Will you remind me how to show my email or phone in the CTA please?
Hi Ken!
Great question! If you want to have your banner say something like, "Click to Email Me!" the hyperlink would read: mailto:example@example.com (but using your email address).
Similarly, if you want someone to call you, you can use: tel:xxxxxxxxxx (but using your phone number) in the hyperlink field.
I hope this helps, but if you need anything else please let me know!
Hello, is there a way to make a CTA from an iphone? My phones camera is better than my computers camera but I cannot seem to find how to create a CTA from my phone.
Thanks!
Hi Ahmed!
Thank you for reaching out and for your question! CTAs are not available for the iPhone yet, but we do hope they will be coming in the near future!
We appreciate your patience, and will be sure to pass along your request.
Thank you!
The ""Add a Call-to-Action Banner" never appears when I upload a video and go to save it. What am I doing wrong?
Hi David!
Great question! The CTAs are only available when recording live videos through our web application, or if you are using an Android phone with our mobile app.
We hope to add the ability for CTAs to be available for uploaded videos, but do not have an ETA at this time.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to write us at support@bombbomb.com.
Thank you!
