    Hi,

    Please let know how can i implement google tag manager using FV player Pro.

    Hi,
    I am using your FV Player on the website. I want to track the video with Google Analytics 4 via Google Tag Manager. Can you give me any instructions on how can I do this?

    Best,
    Sadi

    Hello Sadi,

    Please enter the GA4 ID which you use in your Tag Manager into the FV Player settings screen as seen on the 2nd screenshot here: https://foliovision.com/player/analytics/google-analytics-videos-4#ga4implement

    You can find out about this in your https://tagmanager.google.com -> Pick your Account -> Tags -> look for the tag of the “Google Tag” type. That one should have Tag ID like G-....

    That way you will see the video events in your https://analytics.google.com/

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin,
    I configure the FV Player in this way but it can’t track the video events. Can I do this differently with Google Tag Manager? With the Data layer? Please help me.

    Thanks,
    Sadi

    Hello Sadi,

    Do you mean that it does not show in your GA4? Have your tried to open the Real-Time stats and then to play a video?

    Are you able to check the Network tab of the browser developer tools? You should be able to enter “collect” into the filter field and see the tracking requests being sent to Google.

    I’m attaching a screenshot of what it looks like.

    Thanks,
    Martin
