### 1)  Video Played

This event creates a cookie when the video is played. This is useful for making sure the popup will continue to be displayed until the user *at least sees the video start*. 

You can also do this automatically by selecting the checkbox labeled *'Start Video When Popup Opens'* on the*Popup Settings* box -- *Videos* tab.

### 2)  Video Paused

This event creates a cookie when a visitor pauses the video player inside the popup.  An alternate action is to select the radio button labeled 'Pause the video for easy resuming' on the *Popup Settings* box -- *Videos* tab.

### 3)  Video Ended

This event creates a cookie when the popup video ends.
