MarketHype

Many email clients do not support videos in emails, and the risk of ending up in the spam filter gets higher. Therefore, it is not possible to embed a video when using the email editor in MarketHype.

However, we do have a workaround for you! 💡

Instead of embedding the whole video, you can create a thumbnail (a snapshot from the video), making the recipient click on it and redirect them to the relevant video.

Alternative 1: Creating the thumbnail directly in MarketHype

___________________________________________________________

Choose a snapshot of the video you want to include in the email.

Go to Images followed by Add image → Design with Canva. This application is free to use, and if you use it this way, the image will appear in your MarketHype directly.

Edit the snapshot in Canva and add a Play icon to make the recipients click on it.

When finished, click Add to MarketHype in the top-right corner, and the image will be uploaded to your MarketHype.

Go to Marketing → Email and open up the email you want to include the thumbnail to.

Add an image element to your email and insert the relevant photo. Click on the picture, and the edit content bar will appear. You will find the section Action and Image Link, where you add the link that will redirect the recipient to the actual video when they click on the image.
