1. Video Text Link

We often see text links pointing to videos on the internet. A link is a group of numbers and inconsequential symbols that make very little sense unless you have prepared the link with something catchy to draw attention in the first place.

1. Video Thumbnail

Thumbnail is a picture when you click to see a video. It is an ultimate play button for videos on the internet. When you press the button, it opens up the email and plays the email effortlessly. When you use video thumbnails, it will increase the response rate 5-10 times as compared to the standard text link. It even helps to get a higher ranking on Google.

Many email companies still send emails along with a video. This is a good side but it can be intrusive and annoying too. When you open up an email and see a video to play, it can make you irritated as it turns out to be an invasion of your private space. Those videos in email mostly play with a plug-in of extension.

There are several reasons that including video in an email has become a usual practice in the workplace. Most of the internet users watch videos more often today. They automatically get to see the videos while scrolling their news feed on Facebook, or Instagram or even they search for tutorials on YouTube. When you’re done editing videos and add a video link in your email, it will have a higher rate of being clicked upon for viewing compared to the emails that you send with no video links. There are some things that need to be discussed in detail over here. Let’s jump into them.

But there is always a solution. You can share the video embedded into the Intranet page. You can also tackle this issue by sharing the videos in pages compatible with the Intranet security settings.
• If you want to transmit vital information more quickly and have it not been forgotten, use video email communication. Learners love to learn with visual contents, they love to watch something better than reading about it from the text. As a result of this, people can absorb the maximum information that is being conveyed through eh video content.
• Employees had no chance to share their opinion on the matter properly when they were bound to receive messages, goals, etc. via board meetings, phone calls or fax. Now it is totally changed with the arrival of video as communication. Nowadays, the employees can raise their voices sharing opinions, involve in a two-day discussion with their senior employers/colleagues. When the employees use the video, he can call on to action he wants his employees to take at that moment – he asks for feedback on a specific issue of the ongoing discussion.
