Tips and Considerations
- Make sure to test your email campaign in different email clients and devices to ensure the video embeds correctly.
- If you're using the YouTube embed code method, be aware that some email clients may not support HTML5 video playback. In this case, you can use the YouTube video block method instead.
- You can also use other video hosting platforms like Vimeo or Wistia by using their embed codes or APIs.
- If you're experiencing issues with video playback, try using a different video hosting platform or optimizing your video file size and format.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully embed a YouTube video in your Mailchimp email campaign.
