Can I embed videos to play within an email?
No, you cannot embed videos within your email campaign. But you can use the video element in Zoho Campaigns' drag-and-drop template editor to add links to your favorite videos from YouTube, Vimeo and Wistia in your email campaigns. The linked videos will open up in a new tab.
To use a video component in your email campaign,
- From the Navigation toolbar, select Campaigns and choose Email Campaigns.
- Click Create Campaign on the top-right and select Regular email.
- Enter the campaign name, assign a topic, add recipients and select a sender address.
- Add content to your email by selecting an email template.
- Drag-and-drop the video component under Elements to the desired location in your email template.
- You can choose to add a new video or an existing video.
- If you want to add a new video, select New. Enter a name for the video, choose the source of the video i.e either from Youtube, Vimeo or Wistia, and enter a valid URL for the video.
- If you want to add an existing video merge tag, select Existing. Select an existing video tag from the dropdown.
- Click Change Play Button to customize the play button shown in your video.
- Click Save.
