Video in Emails

Please let us add video to our emails!

Hi There! It’s a great thought!

However, today, it’s not ‘possible’ to send video ‘inside’ an email message. This is not a restriction that ‘we’ have, but a global issue with email in general.

 

However, there are several possible alternatives.

1 – You can include a “Gif” (animated if you like), or “Jpeg” (or other image format), for example a ‘screenshot’ of the Video, that then ‘links’ to the actual video on your website…so when an email recipient clicks that email (I like to put a big “Play” button on the Image), they will be redirected to the video on your site.

Here are a couple FREE online tools you can use to do some of this:

Create Animated GIF from Video:

Put Play Button on Images:

2 – You can put any other type of “link” in your email. For example something like:

->Click Here to Watch<-

Check out the video, and let us know if you have any other questions!!

 

Thanks for the feedback!
