Trigger Your Video From a Plain Text Link

No button required - a single linked word or phrase can open ReelFlow's video player, the same way a button does.

How it works

A sentence can do a button's job

ReelFlow doesn't distinguish between a button and a text link - both are just clickable elements with a link destination. Point a text link's href at the reserved value and clicking it launches the video.

FAQ

Text link trigger questions

Does a text link need special styling to work as a trigger?

No - any styling is purely visual. It's the link destination that makes a piece of text a trigger.

Can text-link and button triggers be mixed on the same page?

Yes - both can point to the same reserved value and will open the same video player.
