Solved: How to load a video into an email campaign - Constant Contact Community

ESPLF2021 · ‎06-16-2022

I have a short and small mp4 video that I need to load into an email campaign. I keep getting the message that the image needs to be in another format such as:

jpeg or jpg

pdf

png

doc

ppt

xls

Not sure that even if I convert to one of these that it will run as a video.
