Good to know

• Lead capture is available on Business plans only.
• The form only appears when a viewer clicks play.
• Turning on Name adds first name and last name to the viewer's form.
• Once a viewer submits the form, Riverside remembers them with a cookie in that browser. If they switch browsers or use incognito mode, they will be asked to fill out the form again.
