Video Upload to console?

[Lfrailey173]

Hi! Two questions:
1. Is it possible to upload a video to "manage images and files"? I see that we can sort by files, images, videos and music so thought so...but once I uploaded it does not display as a video but an invalid picture icon? (attached is screenshot) How do I fix this?

2. Can I embed a video in an email via the console? If so how?

thanks!

You can upload videos, but it is much more efficient to upload them to youtube or vimeo and then use that companies embed code to place them on your website. These companies will make sure that your video will play on all devices and use the minimum bandwidth.

Here is a link that explains how embedding videos in emails works/does not work: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3563&p=7939&hilit=v ... 1566#p7939

We also have a video here that teaches how to create an interesting effect when linking to videos in an email: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLkBI4ETQcY
