Email vs. Web

  • Web post — The embedded video plays directly in the browser.
  • Email — Substack converts embeds to clickable links/thumbnails in email. Readers click through to view the video on your Substack page.

Tips

  • Embed videos in both free and paid Substack posts.
  • Password-protected videos will prompt viewers for the password.
  • Add tracking pixels for analytics on embedded views.
  • CTAs and engagement tracking work inside embedded videos.
  • For best results, place embeds between text paragraphs rather than at the very top of a post.
