Tips and considerations

• Make sure the video is optimized for email by keeping it short, concise, and with a clear call-to-action.
• Use a video player that is optimized for email, such as the YouTube or Vimeo player.
• Test your email campaign to ensure the video is displayed correctly across different email clients and devices.
• Consider using a video thumbnail to make it easier for subscribers to click and play the video.
• You can also use Mailchimp's built-in video editing tools to trim, crop, and add captions to your video.

Troubleshooting common issues

• If the video doesn't display, check that the URL is correct and that the video is publicly accessible.
• If the video is not playing, try checking the video player settings or contacting the video hosting platform (e.g. YouTube or Vimeo) for assistance.
• If the video is not displaying correctly on mobile devices, try using a responsive video player or optimizing the video for mobile devices.

By following these steps and tips, you can successfully embed videos in your Mailchimp campaigns and newsletters to engage your subscribers and drive conversions.
