# Use an opt-in to allow access to a video

> Use an Opt-In form to gate free video content and grow your contacts list.

Using an **Opt-In Form** to gate free video content is a great way to organically grow your contacts list. Visitors submit a Form and are redirected to a page containing your video.

7. Click **Save**:

<div className="w-full aspect-video">
  <iframe src="https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/wx7nqg40bj" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowFullScreen className="w-full h-full" />
</div>

## Add the Form to a page

After setting up the Opt-In Form that leads to your video page, share your Opt-In Form by adding it to your other pages (e.g., home page, sales page, etc.).

[Learn to add a Form to a page](../../website/pages/how-to-add-a-form-to-your-page)

After adding your Form to your desired page, site visitors can access your video page by submitting the Form:
