Please Note: You cannot insert playable videos in the body of emails. This is not an RD Station Marketing limitation. Most email providers do not accept videos sent in the body of emails.

- You will come across a thumbnail of the player. Take a screenshot and crop the video image:
- Also copy the video's share link.
2. "Insert" the video in the email
When creating or editing an email, you can use an image element and insert the cropped image you created in the previous step. Don't forget to add the video’s link to the image:
