FAQs
Can I embed a video that plays directly inside the email?
No. Most email clients do not support embedded video playback. The Video section adds a clickable thumbnail that links to the video.
Why is my YouTube video not loading?
YouTube videos must be public or unlisted. Private videos are not supported.
Can I use a custom thumbnail image?
The Video section automatically pulls the thumbnail from the video source. To use a fully custom image, add an Image section and link it manually to your video URL.
Does TikTok work the same way as YouTube and Vimeo?
Yes. Paste the public TikTok video URL into the Paste video URL field. Seguno generates a linked thumbnail automatically.
