I have a videoask on my website, but I would like it to appear after a few seconds on the web. Can this be controlled from the script somehow? Does anyone know a bit of programming or if this is possible. It is that what I do not want is that it loads immediately when a user accesses the web

How to delay the videoask script on my website
Best answer by Grace
Hey
Is your videoask embedded as a widget or an iframe embed?
We have an Advanced Embed Options page on the Help Center which has some tips for customizing embeds, and there’s an example of how to delay the widget in the Code Snippet Library, here’s the code you can use:
<script src="https://www.videoask.com/embed/embed.js"></script>
<script>
var myFunc = function() {
window.videoask.loadEmbed({
"kind": "widget",
"url": "https://www.videoask.com/f2e686p74",
"options": {
"widgetType": "VideoThumbnailExtraLarge",
"text": "Talk to me",
"backgroundColor": "#FF3C4C",
"position": "bottom-right"
}
})
}
window.onload = function() {
setTimeout(myFunc, 3000);
console.log("loaded");
}
</script>
You’ll need to swap the videoask URL in the code so it’s displaying your videoask rather than the example one we have here.
Hopefully that’s what you’re looking for, but if not let us know and maybe some other creators have set up something similar! 😊

If cauliflower can become pizza, you my friend can do anything
It's just what I needed. I have adapted it with my corporate colors and the title text and now it appears on the web after a few seconds. I love it!
Thank you very much Grace!
+5Awesome! Thanks for letting us know

+5That works so well! Love how you’ve stylised the videoask and used the calendar feature, thanks so much for sharing 😊

Hey
Video-→ button → Calendly embed
I can’t seem to do that unless it’s
Video -→ button -→ video -→ Calendly embed
Is it mostly done with code?
+5Also, you may want to double check that you don’t have the ‘delay interaction’ setting enabled. More information on that here.
Let me know if you have any questions!
If you can dream it, you can do it!

I’ve added this code to my site and it works as expected, but I want the delay to be greater than 3000ms.
I’ve changed the code to display after 15,000ms but it still always displays after 3000ms.
Any idea why that might happen?
Edit - Nm, found a template condition issue affecting the script.
