Yabber integrates with Wistia in such a way that we effectively emulate most features of that service. This tight level of connectivity enables features such as the email collection turnstiles (or email capture form 'gates' within a video) to be used for engagement and not just consumption.

- Turnstile Email Collection
- Video Midroll Annotations
- Postroll Call-to-Action
