Custom Video Tracking - Syntax

[Pavel_Krejci]

Hi all,

we are using GTM and custom scripts to send data to Piwik PRO. Currently, we track videos using custom events (paq.push([“trackEvent”, category, action, name, value, dimensions]), but we would like to use inbuilt functionality (VIDEO ANALYTICS).

What is the tracking syntax API for sending video data, e.g. paq.push([“video”, …?

I haven’t found this anywhere in the documentation.

Kind regards
Pavel

Hi @Pavel_Krejci,

You can check how the video analytics reports are structured by using the Customize button.

E.g. Video overview looks like this. The general rule is keeping the event category but there are some additional filters depending on the report you are looking at.
