How do I include a video in an email?

Videos can't be embedded in emails. Add a thumbnail image that links to your video instead.

Want to put a video into an email? It is easier than it sounds. You can't put a video directly in an email; instead, you add a thumbnail image. When they click the picture, it takes them to the video.

Once you have started a new email, here is how it works:

  • Add an Image Block to your email

  • Click on the Image Block, and you will see the information about this specific picture pop up on the right

  • Under the 'Build' option, click 'Replace' and choose the image you would like to be the thumbnail for this video

  • Now, to add the link for the video, click 'Link Type'

  • Choose 'Web Address'

  • Paste the URL to your video in the Link box below

Save, then close, and you will have a video connected to the picture within the email.
