What this is for

When prospects visit your white-label platform’s landing page, they see a demo video section with a 20-minute platform deep dive. This video plays directly on the page and is designed to convert visitors into signups. You choose which YouTube video appears by setting the NEXT_PUBLIC_DEMO_VIDEO_ID configuration value. This is a setup-level setting rather than a switch in the portal, so if you’re self-hosting you’ll set it in your configuration; otherwise ask Knotie support to update it for you.

​
How it works

The landing page includes an animated section titled “See How Easy It Is to Build Your Voice AI Empire” that embeds a YouTube video. Visitors can watch it inline without leaving your page. The section also has a Get Started button that opens the signup modal. The “See how it works” link in the platform hero section scrolls down to this video automatically.

​
Configure the demo video

​
Set the video

The setting to change is NEXT_PUBLIC_DEMO_VIDEO_ID, and its value is simply the YouTube video ID — the part after youtu.be/ or ?v= in a YouTube link. For example, if your video is at https://youtu.be/ABC123xyz, the value is ABC123xyz: 
NEXT_PUBLIC_DEMO_VIDEO_ID=ABC123xyz
The default is the official Knotie AI platform overview video. Replace it with your own if you want a custom white-label demo. If you’re not self-hosting, ask Knotie support to set this for you.

​
Finding the YouTube video ID

  1. Open the YouTube video you want to use.
  2. Copy the URL from the browser address bar.
  3. Extract the ID:
    • From https://youtu.be/ABC123xyz → ID is ABC123xyz
    • From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABC123xyz → ID is ABC123xyz

​
After changing the video

This setting is applied when the application is built, so the change only takes effect after the platform is rebuilt and redeployed. Simply restarting isn’t enough. If Knotie support manages your hosting, they’ll handle this for you.

​
Hiding the demo video section

There’s no on/off switch to hide the demo video section. If you’d rather it didn’t appear, you can:
  • Point the setting at an unlisted YouTube video of your choice, or
  • Ask Knotie support to remove the section for you (this needs a code change by a developer).

​
Troubleshooting

  • Video not showing up
    • Confirm the setting was saved and the platform was rebuilt after the change.
    • Make sure the YouTube video ID is correct and the video is public (or unlisted).
  • Wrong video is showing
    • Check that the new value was saved and the platform was rebuilt — the old video can linger until then.
  • “Video unavailable” inside the player
    • The video owner may have turned off embedding. In YouTube Studio, make sure Allow embedding is turned on for the video.
