The Video Element allows you to share links to videos hosted on your organization webpage or streaming sites like Youtube and Vimeo. Sharing videos in your Blasts can make your Blasts more engaging and is a great way to present information with audio and visual benefits.

Video playback is not currently supported by email applications, so they cannot be played inside of an email. However, the Video Element will attempt to automatically generate a thumbnail and a play button, clearly indicating that the element will result in a Video being opened when clicking the element.

To use the Video Element, click the element, or click and drag it to where you want it placed in your Blast.

Once your Video Element is in your Blast, paste the Video link URL into the text box.

You can click to disable or enable a Play Button overlay over the automatic thumbnail, and even upload a custom thumbnail if the default image didn't load or isn't what you expected.

The maximum image upload size is 1600kb. Full-width-images will be adjusted to be a max of 600 pixels wide.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@cerkl.com or use the support Chat toward the bottom right-hand corner of any cerkl.com page.
