How do I add a video?

How to add a YouTube or Vimeo video to a marketing piece or template.

Written By Danny Schaffer

To add a YouTube or Vimeo video to a marketing piece or template:

  1. Click the "Content" tab on the right, and expand the Media content category.

  2. Drag and drop a "Video" content block into your piece where you want it to display.

  3. Click on the newly added "Video" content block, then paste your Youtube or Vimeo video link in the "URL" field on the right. This will pull in the thumbnail and link the video

  4. (Optional) In the Video Properties area to the right to change the Play Button overlay look and size.

Currently, this option is only available for YouTube and Vimeo videos. For videos hosted elsewhere, you may want to use an alternative method such as linking to a video from an image you add manually.

We do not recommend attempting to directly embed a video to play in an email, as there can be associated issues (receiving email clients may not display the video, or may block the email entirely).
