For years, DocSend has given teams x-ray vision into how viewers engage with their shared documents. Now we’re bringing that same power to in-platform video with the launch of video analytics.
Video consumption has become part of our day-to-day lives. According to Hubspot, people watched 12.2 billion minutes of video last year – that’s 23,211 years worth of content. The rise of video isn’t just about attention – it’s also about driving results.

Armed with this insight, you can optimize your strategy to draw in more leads, and quickly prioritize which ones to follow-up with.
