FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Flowly. Skim the questions or open the ones you need.
Still have a question?BasicsWhat is Flowly, in one sentence?
Flowly layers interactive CTAs and live data on top of your videos so you can update what viewers see without re-editing the file.
ViewersDo viewers need to install anything?
No. They watch in the browser like a normal embed or player page. Overlays are part of the Flowly player experience.
EditingCan I change CTAs and text after the video is embedded?
Yes. Update overlays and connected data from your dashboard; the same embed keeps showing the latest content.
RoutingCan I show different content to different viewers?
Yes. With smart content routing you can show different overlays based on country, continent, region, language, or device — all from a single video and embed. Build the rules visually in the routing flow editor and Flowly picks the right branch on every play.
PrivacyHow do you detect a viewer's region without GPS?
We use coarse signals only — the viewer's IANA timezone, browser locale, and device class (desktop / mobile / tablet). No GPS, no fingerprinting, no third-party trackers required to make routing work.
HostingDoes Flowly replace my video host?
Flowly focuses on dynamic overlays and workflows. You can use it with common players and sources; exact options depend on your setup — see our docs or contact us for yours.
DataWhat data can overlays use?
Connect APIs, spreadsheets, and other sources so numbers, labels, and status stay in sync with your systems.
