Add a video to an email in the Constant Contact mobile app

Insert a video into your email from your Vimeo library or using a URL

If you host videos on Vimeo, you can easily connect your account to Constant Contact from the desktop site and then insert a video directly from your Vimeo library into an email. You can also add a video to your email using a link from YouTube, Wistia, or other media platforms. 

Note: Since most email providers don't support embedded videos, your video will not play directly within the email. Instead, only the video thumbnail will display, and when your contacts tap on it, your video will open in YouTube, Vimeo, etc. to play.
