Embedded content refers to any media which launches in-page rather than launching in a new window or browser tab. For property listings on Zoopla, this refers to property videos as well as virtual tours.

Functionality

Videos links will be flagged on the listing search results page with a video icon on the photo and embedded in listing details pages, via the Virtual tours option, providing they are served by an approved player (Vimeo, YouTube, Matterport, Vistabee, Vieweet and Audio Agent). They're also accessible from the More information section
Videos served by unapproved suppliers or players can be found if you scroll down the listing to the More information section, and click Additional links. Once clicked, they will open in a new window (as per current virtual functionality)
Embedded content will appear prominently on Premium Listings on the listing search results page as an icon and call to action
Embedded content displays on the desktop website. On the app, it displays via external apps, i.e. Youtube

How to buy

Embedded video is an enhanced user experience tool that is free to our customers. However, in order to take advantage of the enhanced display on the listing search results page, the property must be upgraded to a Premium Listing.
