Content Properties- Video

An easy way to add content from YouTube or Vimeo

The video content block allows you to share your video content easily in your email campaigns. You only need to copy and paste the URL of your video from YouTube or Vimeo. No needs to edit or resize front page images, this feature will automatically grab the cover image for the video, overlay a Play icon on top of it, and link it to the video content.

How it works

You will now find a new "Video" tile in the "Content" panel. Drag it into your design to get started.

The "Content properties" section will ask you to provide a video URL from YouTube or Vimeo, ensure the URL is a valid link, this can be saved directly from the browser URL bar. 

Once you insert a valid URL, the content block in the editing panel will display the cover image for the video with a Play icon overlayed on top of it. You can edit the type, color, and size of the Playicon to change the way it looks.

Select the icon type that fits your design.

choose the color that looks best with your cover image.

...pick a size and You're all done!

Notes about embedding video in email

This feature does not embed the actual video in the in the template but rather links to it in a smart way, by adding an image from the video and linking to it.

The reason why the actual video content is not embedded into the message is that, unfortunately, this feature is not supported by email clients.
