Hi Debbie,
In eMarketing (within Cvent), you can't directly embed a playable video (like from YouTube or Vimeo) that plays within the email itself-this is a limitation of most email clients, not just Cvent.
However, here's what you can do:
-
Use a thumbnail image from the video (like a screenshot) and overlay a play button icon.
-
Then, link that image to the video hosted on a platform like YouTube, Vimeo, or even your event website.
This gives the visual impression of an embedded video while ensuring it works across all email clients.
Let me know if you'd like help setting that up!
