Media tab
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
- 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.
- Some ISPs (such as AOL) strips out video or audio content.
