Tips & Best Practices
Use a thumbnail that encourages clicks – The preview image is key to engagement.
Keep videos short and relevant to retain viewer attention.
Test your email before sending to ensure the video loads as expected in the inbox.
Troubleshooting
Video not displaying?
Double-check that your video URL is correct and publicly accessible.
Note: Due to email client restrictions, most videos play via a thumbnail that links out to the video site.
