You can use custom tracking codes to run any script or plugin that you would normally run on your website. You can also tag your contacts based on a video view and send that tag to your CRM.
Custom Tracking Codes
You can use them to trigger Facebook pixels or show chat widgets or popups in your video. You can use them for almost anything.
Custom codes can be configured to run at a specific time or at the very start of the video.

This setting is within individual video setting options and also in Themes.
To configure a custom code in an individual video simply go to edit mode of a desired video and navigate to Settings >> Tracking Codes & Tags

Identify the Viewer So Tag Can Be Passed to CRM
Lastly you will need to identify the contact which is to be updated by providing a parameter to the video watch page or the page on which the video is embedded on.
For example, this can be done by appending the following at the end of the URL where they are watching the video:
