I am trying to find ways to track lead activity on a video on our homepage. This article was helpful: http://developers.marketo.com/blog/embed-a-youtube-video-with-lead-tracking-on-a-marketo-landing-page/

However, it appears like the video opens to a new window (Marketo landing page) to watch the video rather than staying on our website like our current video here: Business VoIP Phone Systems | Top Rated VoIP Provider | Jive

Is there anyway to track this on our homepage rather than link the video to a new window?

Search my past posts for "Munchkin YouTube." There's no barrier to tracking YouTube video plays/player events on non-Marketo pages (as long as they are running Munchkin, of course). You just need to follow the right plugin method.

I've found that there is a lot of customization to get this done based on your website design. What WE had to do was add an attribute to our A Tag with our specific youtube id (where we host our videos). So, our modal is: <a class="modal" data-youtube-id="xyz" href="abc">

Then we have a SC that watches for that attribute with specific youtube id:

Clicks Link on web page

Link is: <homepage>/xyz (where xyz is your video id)
