Content: Insert URL: Media

 

This tab allows you to insert links to video or audio clips into the HTML portion of your message. You may set the media so it plays automatically when a recipient opens a message, or requires the recipient to click on a link.

 

Note that having a clip play when a message opens can be unreliable, depending on the settings of a recipient's computer. For the most reliable results, include the media as a linked URL rather than embedding it.

 

Note that some ISPs (such as AOL) will strip out video or audio.

 

URL to Media

The URL to the media you'd like played in your message.

 

Clickable Text (If Linked)

The text users should click on to play the media, if applicable.

 

Media Type

The type of media being included: video or audio.

 

Action Type

How this media should be activated:

 

Link

Recipients must click on a link to access the media.

 

Embed (Autoplay)

The message plays automatically when the recipient opens the message. Having media play automatically can be unreliable, depending on the settings of a recipient's computer.

 

Embed (Click to Start)

Recipients must click to start playing the media.

 

Track

Track how many people play the media. Results will be visible in Reports: Mailings: Tracking Statistics. Note that ListManager will record a hit every time the message is opened or the media is played.
