The Email Designer's Autoplay Video block allows you to add videos to your Emails.
Autoplay Video Block: Use a viewed.video video identifier (ID) to add a video that will play silently within the email itself, while also linking to the video page. You must have your own viewed.video account to use this feature.
A watermark will be added to your videos if you use a viewed.video trial account; a paid account is needed to remove the watermark and to use this feature beyond the trial period.
To learn more about the technology employed by viewed.video see this article.
Adding the Autoplay Video block
The Autoplay Video Block is accessible in the Email Designer's 'Content' tab. To add it to your Email Template, drag it into the desired location:
Click either of the "Autoplay Video" buttons to open a pop-up where you can enter your viewed.video video identifier (ID):
After providing your video identifier (ID) you will be asked to select the width for the desktop version of the email template:
Click Save, and the video will be added to your template in the designer.
In the Block Options section, you can choose whether to hide the Autoplay Video Block when the email is opened on mobile or desktop, or to show it in both contexts.
When you send your email, recipients will see a silent version of the video playing within the email. Clicking on the video within the email will take them to the viewed.video page where they can watch the full video with sound.
Clicks on the video in the email will be tracked like all other link clicks, with the viewed.video URL as the Link URL.
