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,
  1. From the Navigation toolbar, select Campaigns and choose Email Campaigns.

  2. Click Create Campaign on the top-right and select Regular email.

  3. Enter the campaign name, assign a topic, add recipients and select a sender address.
  4. Add content to your email by selecting an email template.
  5. Drag-and-drop the video component under Elements to the desired location in your email template.

  6. You can choose to add a new video or an existing video.
  7. 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.

  8. If you want to add an existing video merge tag, select Existing. Select an existing video tag from the dropdown.

  9. Click Change Play Button to customize the play button shown in your video.

  10. Click Save.
