the video content block allows you to share your video content in an easy way in your emails you only need to copy and paste the url of your video from youtube or vimeo editor will do the rest it will grab the cover image for the video, overlay a play icon on top of it, and link it to the video content how it works you will find a video tile in the content panel drag it into your design to get started the content properties section will ask you to provide a video url from youtube or vimeo these are the popular video hosting services that we currently support videos hosted by vimeo will only work if they are set to "public" all other security settings available within vimeo (e g "hide from vimeo com") will generate a different link format that is not supported by the video content block these types of links will be altered by the builder, which prevents us from generating a thumbnail once you insert a valid url, the content block in the editing panel will display the cover image with a play icon overlayed on top of it you can edit the type, color, and size of the play icon to change the way it looks note that the editor can't access password protected videos to get the cover image select the icon type that fits your design choose the color that looks best with your cover image pick a size you're all done! this feature does not embed the actual video in the email designed with the editor but rather links to it in a smart way
