Set a Bubble Guru video to play only once per visitor...
To have your Bubble Guru video only launch the first-time someone visits your web site you have a couple of options.
[1] Set Repeat on every page load to "NO" in your option settings.
This is the default setting for all Bubble Guru videos you create. It means your Bubble Guru will only load the first time someone
visits your webpage "per browser session" and is the easiest way to limit the number of times your Bubble Guru loads.
Please note however, that browser sessions are erased whenever your site visitor close their web browser, which means your
Bubble Guru will play again the next time your visitor comes to your web site under a fresh browser session.
[2] Set a special browser cookie that only plays your Bubble Guru video "one time"...Not just for the browser session on,
but more permanently.
To accomplish this, you need to do a couple of things:
First...from your options settings, you need to set your specific Bubble Guru message to NOT Auto-Launch your Bubble
Guru video as well as set it to NOT repeat on repeat on every page load.
Secondly...you need to copy and paste the tag below into your HTML source, just after where you place your Bubble Guru tags,
but before your closing </body> tag.
Third...be sure to set the number of days you want your session cookie to expire. For a long time, set it really
high like 365 days (1 year) or even more.
And finally...set your specific Bubble Guru video ID that you want to play. You can grab this ID from your specific Bubble Guru tags.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
// set days from now to expire the cookie
var days = 365;
var date= new Date(new Date().getTime() + (days*24*60*60*1000))
var seenit = getCookie("showintro");
var beenhere = 'true';
if (seenit != 'true') {
// set your specific Bubble Guru video ID that you want to play here
passIt('myvideo_1');
}
setCookie("showintro", beenhere, date);
//-->
</script>
