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/events so 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.
