Hi VivianeT0 The best method is to host your video on YouTube or Vimeo and use the 'Video Block' feature."

How to Use the Video Block:

  1. Open Your Email Draft: Go to the email campaign you are currently editing.

  2. Find the Video Block: Look at the left-hand menu under the Build tab (where you see Text, Image, Button, etc.). Scroll down until you see Video.

  3. Drag and Drop: Click and hold the Video block, then drag it over to your email template where you want the video to appear. Release the mouse to drop it.

  4. Add Your Link:

    • Click on the video placeholder you just dropped.

    • Click the Edit button that appears.

    • Paste the URL of your video (from YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia) into the field provided.

  5. Preview & Insert:

    • Constant Contact will automatically pull the thumbnail image from your video.

    • Click Insert.
