Frequently Asked Questions

Can my email recipients play videos directly within the Mail Designer 365 email design if hosted by Dropbox?
 
Dropbox changed the way their public folder behaves and they have shut down hotlinking files, which means that you are no longer able to play videos directly within the email if the video is hosted by Dropbox. Also, keep in mind that directly embedded videos do not always work properly with certain email clients. This means that some of your recipients may not be able to view the video because of the email client they are using.

Our best practice recommendation when it comes to videos:

We recommend linking out to the videos on another site such as YouTube or Vimeo. These videos will then open in Safari or the relevant video app. For example, if it's a YouTube video and the YouTube app is installed on the device, then the video will play right in the YouTube app on the recipient's device.
