heyly.io Video Greeting Widget
heyly.io is a video greeting widget: a small floating bubble in the corner of your site that plays a short personal video (usually around 30 seconds) — like Instagram Stories, but for your website. After the video, visitors see up to 5 call-to-action buttons (book a call, WhatsApp, email, your link).
No testimonials yet? You ARE the testimonial. In a world full of AI, a real face and a real voice are what make visitors trust you.
Swap videos like Instagram Stories. Changing your greeting is as easy as posting a new Story — record a new video in your heyly.io dashboard and it’s live on your site in 30 seconds. No developer, no theme edits, no re-embedding.
You decide exactly where it shows. Per page, per post type, per URL pattern — show the widget only where it earns its place, and hide it everywhere else (e.g. checkout or privacy pages).
This plugin makes installing and managing the heyly.io widget on a WordPress site easy:
- Paste your Video ID — no code editing, no theme changes
- Configure up to 3 videos with separate display rules
- Target by post type, page ID or URL pattern (glob or PCRE regex)
- Include + exclude rules (e.g. show everywhere except /checkout and /privacy)
- Per-page override meta box (force show / force hide / use site rules)
- WPML + Polylang auto-detection with multi-select language targeting
- Optional consent-required mode for cookie banners (widget stays off until the visitor accepts)
- Lightweight: the plugin adds a single script tag — nothing else loads on your pages
Ideas to try:
- A dedicated greeting on each campaign landing page — welcome visitors coming from that specific ad or newsletter personally
- A seasonal video for a sale week — swap it in before the campaign, swap it back after, in seconds
- A different video per language on multilingual sites
- A personal «here’s what happens next» greeting on your contact or thank-you page
Who is it for? Agencies, accountants, consultants, coaches and e-commerce shops — anyone whose business is built on personal trust.
You need a free heyly.io account. The widget videos, buttons and analytics are managed in your heyly.io dashboard. The Free plan includes 1 video and 1,000 views every 30 days; the Pro plan adds more videos and removes the «Powered by heyly.io» badge. See pricing.
External services
This plugin connects to the heyly.io service. It outputs a single script tag pointing to https://heyly.io/widget.js, which the visitor’s browser loads from heyly.io.
The widget script then:
- Fetches the widget configuration (your video, buttons, styling) from
https://heyly.io/api/... - Streams the video from Cloudflare Stream (
*.cloudflarestream.com) - Sends anonymous usage events (view, play, click) to
https://heyly.io/api/eventsso you can see analytics in your dashboard. A random visitor ID is stored in the visitor’s browser localStorage; no names, emails or IP-based profiles are collected by the widget.
If you enable the consent-required option, none of the above happens until the visitor accepts via your cookie banner.
