How to insert video into mail chimpo
Mailchimp is an email marketing platform that allows you to create and send professional-looking emails to your subscribers. While it doesn't have a built-in video editor, you can still insert videos into your Mailchimp campaigns using a few different methods. Here are a few ways to do it:
Method 1: Embed a YouTube video
- Go to your Mailchimp campaign and click on the "Add content" button.
- Select "Image" and then click on the "Upload" button.
- Paste the YouTube video URL into the "Image URL" field.
- Click "Insert" to embed the video.
Method 2: Use a video hosting platform
- Upload your video to a video hosting platform like Vimeo, Wistia, or Brightcove.
- Get the video's embed code from the hosting platform.
- In Mailchimp, click on the "Add content" button and select "HTML" or "Code".
- Paste the embed code into the HTML/code field.
- Click "Insert" to embed the video.
Method 3: Use a third-party video plugin
- Install a third-party video plugin like Video Embed & Thumbnail Generator or Video.js in your Mailchimp campaign.
- Follow the plugin's instructions to embed your video.
Tips and limitations
- Make sure to test your video embeds in different email clients and devices to ensure they display correctly.
- Some email clients may not support video playback, so consider providing a fallback image or text alternative.
- Mailchimp has a file size limit of 10MB for attachments, so if your video is larger than that, you may need to compress it or use a video hosting platform.
- Some email providers may block videos from playing automatically, so consider adding a play button or a link to the video instead.
