Mailchimp Tutorial - How to Send a Video So It Plays In Email
Embed videos in @mailchimp emails so they actually play in email for your recipient!
Quick Technical Note:
The video playing IN email depends on your recipient's email client as well as the way you send it. Some email clients just do not support video. In those cases, the video will open in a browser window for your viewer to watch (still a great experience!).
This tutorial will walk you through the best way to embed videos in email so the video will be able to play when possible.
How to Embed a Video in a Mailchimp Email:
1. Record, upload, or request your video to Sendspark (http://sendspark.com/)
2. Click "Share Video"
3. Copy "Email Embed Code" to your clipboard
4. Navigate to your email in Mailchimp
5. Drag in an HTML code block
6. Paste your Sendspark snippet right into your code block
7. You should see your video in the preview! Send yourself a test email and check in a few different email.clients to make sure it looks good everywhere
