Embed audio in mailchimp

Mailchimp allows you to embed audio files in your campaigns, but there are some limitations and requirements to keep in mind. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to embed audio in Mailchimp:

Requirements:

1. Your audio file must be in a supported format: MP3, WAV, or OGG.
2. The file size should be under 10MB.
3. You need to have a Mailchimp account with a paid plan (Essential or higher).

Steps to embed audio in Mailchimp:

1. Upload your audio file: Go to your Mailchimp account, navigate to the "Assets" tab, and click on "Upload Files". Select your audio file and upload it to Mailchimp.
2. Create a new campaign: Go to the "Campaigns" tab and click on "Create a Campaign". Choose the type of campaign you want to create (e.g., email, landing page, etc.).
3. Add a section: In the campaign builder, click on the "Add a section" button and select "Audio" from the dropdown menu.
4. Insert the audio file: In the "Audio" section, click on the "Insert Audio" button. Select the audio file you uploaded earlier from the dropdown menu.
5. Customize the audio player: You can customize the audio player by adding a title, description, and choosing the player style (e.g., inline, modal, etc.).
6. Add the audio section to your campaign: Click on the "Add to Campaign" button to add the audio section to your campaign.
7. Preview and send: Preview your campaign to ensure everything looks and sounds good, then send it to your subscribers.

Tips and limitations:

• Audio files will not play automatically when the email is opened. Subscribers need to click on the "Play" button to start the audio.
• Audio files will not be playable on all devices or email clients. Some email clients may not support audio playback or may have limitations on file size.
• You can only embed one audio file per campaign.
• If you have a large number of subscribers, you may want to consider using a third-party audio hosting service to reduce the load on your Mailchimp account.

By following these steps, you can successfully embed audio in your Mailchimp campaigns and engage your subscribers with rich media content.
