Your Product Videos, All in One Place: Meet Prodify’s Embed Link Library

Let's face it—sometimes a video can explain more about your product than a page of documentation ever could. Whether you're sharing a demo, installation walkthrough, training video, or marketing content, videos help bring your products to life and make it easier for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) pros to understand exactly what they're specifying.

But as your library grows, managing video content quickly becomes messy. Links get broken, duplicates start appearing across products, and finding the right video can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

That's why we're excited to introduce the Embed Link Library in Prodify—a simple, centralized way to manage all your embedded video content.  

In this blog, we'll explore:

• Why video content is so important for manufacturers
• How the Embed Link Library works
• Top 5 ways the Embed Link Library helps you

Why Video Content Is So Important

When AEC pros are researching products, they want information that's easy to consume, engaging, and helpful. Videos check all those boxes—making them an essential part of how prospects research and engage with products online.  

Check out these key stats:

• 91% of businesses use video as a marketing tool in 2026 (HubSpot)  ‍
• 89% of B2B marketers report a positive return on investment from video marketing (Genesys) ‍
• 78% of online users prefer learning about a product or service through a short-form video (Wix)

For manufacturers, these numbers highlight a simple reality: AEC pros increasingly expect video as part of their product research experience.  

By adding videos to your product content, you can help prospects quickly understand features and visualize applications. It's a simple way to create a more engaging product experience—and now, with Prodify's new Embed Link Library, it's easier than ever to do just that.  

What Is the Embed Link Library?

As a centralized hub for all embedded video content in Prodify, the Embed Link Library makes it easy to manage, organize, and monitor your videos from one convenient place.

You can:

• Store and manage video links from popular platforms like YouTube and Vimeo
• Preview videos directly within Prodify
• Connect videos to relevant Product Families, Products, and Projects  
• Update existing links when content changes
• Remove outdated videos
• Monitor link health and status

Top 5 Ways the Embed Link Library Helps You

1. Stay Organized with Smart Filtering

The Embed Link Library includes built-in filtering options that help you quickly locate the videos you need, when you need them. Use the filter dropdown to narrow your view by:

• All Links — Display every embed link stored in your library. ‍
• Stale Links — View only links that have been identified as unavailable or broken. ‍
• Resolved Links — Show links that are active and functioning correctly. ‍
• Added to Product Families — Display links associated with one or more Product Families. ‍
• Added to Products — Display links associated with one or more Products. ‍
• Added to Projects — Display links associated with one or more Projects.

These filtering options make it easy to organize content, identify issues, and locate videos connected to specific areas of your product catalog.

2. Reduce Duplicate Work

Why upload and manage the same video multiple times?

With the Embed Link Library, one video can be linked to multiple Product Families, Products, and Projects. This makes it easy to reuse valuable content across your catalog while maintaining a single source of truth. Less duplication means less maintenance and more time spent creating great content.

3. Maintain Quality with Automated Link Health Checks

Few things are more frustrating than clicking on a link only to discover it no longer works. And it's a surprisingly common problem—studies show that 74% of all websites have broken links. Why so many? Because finding and fixing broken or outdated links can be difficult, especially when videos are spread across multiple pages, products, or projects.  

That’s why Prodify’s Embed Link Library includes built-in link health checks. Simply click Run Link Health Check to validate all your embed links and you’ll instantly see the results in the status column.

• Resolved — The video link is active and functioning correctly. ‍
• Stale — The video link is unavailable or broken.

Even better, Prodify automatically runs a health check every day at 3:00 AM UTC, helping you catch broken links before your AEC audience does.

4. Update Videos Faster

Need to replace a video or update a link? Instead of playing detective and tracking down every Product Family, Product, and Project where a video has been used, you can manage everything from one central location in the Embed Link Library.

Even better, when product updates happen, you'll know exactly which videos are connected to those products. That means less guesswork, fewer outdated videos, and more confidence that the content your prospects are seeing is accurate and up to date.

5. Create Richer Product Experiences

There's a reason so many marketers continue to invest in video—it just works. Why? Because video is one of the most effective ways to capture attention, communicate information, and help people understand complex topics quickly.  

Instead of asking prospects to imagine how a product works, video lets them see it for themselves. For specifiers researching products, that added context can make all the difference. Videos help transform your products from something they read about into something they experience.

Your Products Deserve More Than Static Content

Great product content goes beyond specifications, brochures, and design files. Videos provide valuable context that helps your target audience better understand your products, how they’re installed, and how they’ll perform in the real world.

With the Embed Link Library, you can enrich your Product Families, Products, and Projects with engaging video content directly in Prodify. Plus, with powerful filtering tools and automated link health checks, it’s easier than ever to keep your video content organized, up to date, and readily available—giving AEC pros the confidence they need to say yes.
