Solved: Re: Video Background Cover Image - Constant Contact Community

How can you upload custom videos to use as a background? I only have access to 6 out of the box options.

You'd need to host the video on a separate site, then link to it when setting up that background. Please bear in mind this would only work for sections, not for the header / footer parts. For more information and 1:1 guidance, I'd recommend reaching out to our Website Builder support directly.

Hello @CharlesS62016,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I do apologize for any inconvenience but we can't use videos for the background of an email, you can upload custom colors or patterns and insert a video into the email if you would like.

Hi @Zoe_H,

I should have clarified my question more. I would like to use a custom video as a background inside the website builder.
