Popups containing videos can be very effective in building your mailing list. The easiest way to show a video popup is to use a plugin. While there are many WordPress popup plugins, not all of them support this feature. Below is a list of the ones that allow videos — sorted by order of recommendation:
Action Popup
Action Popup is built with the internet marketer in mind. It can integrate well with autoresponder services such as GetResponse, AWeber, and more. The author of the plugin recognizes the effectiveness of video content and he has developed the plugin to accommodate this. You can read the full review for Action Popup here >>

FasterIM Opt-in
FasterIM Opt-in is another plugin that is built specifically for internet marketers. The support for video content is not well documented in this plugin, but it exists nonetheless.

The Pop Over
The Pop Over is a basic WordPress popup plugin. While it is very suited for displaying videos, the original intention of the plugin is to display announcements and static content — not opt-in forms. But you can still use it to display opt-in forms with videos. Read the full review of The Pop Over plugin here >>
