How can I collect the exact viewer location?

1. Open the video and select Settings.
2. Go to the Advanced section.
3. Turn on Collect precise viewer location.
4. Open the share link in a new browser window and allow the location prompt.
5. Finish or close the session, then open the view in Reporting > Views and check the location.

The browser shows its own permission prompt when the video loads. The viewer can allow or block it. If they block it, or do not answer within a few seconds, the video plays as normal and the view uses the approximate location from the network address.

With permission, the view stores latitude and longitude, and Mindstamp looks up the matching address: street, postal code, city, region, county, country and a map link. The field `has_exact_location` is true. Without permission, the view stores only the approximate city, region and country.

The precise fields appear in a views export when you select Include Interactions, Variables, and Location, and in the API and view webhooks.

The embed code from Mindstamp allows the location prompt inside the frame. If you edited the embed code, keep `geolocation` in the iframe `allow` attribute. A site that blocks location for embedded frames also blocks the prompt.

An exact location is personal data. Tell viewers why you ask for it, collect it only when you need it, and follow your own privacy policy.
