In addition to the customization available in the text editor when creating newsletters, you can also add custom fonts, colours, and any other customizations that can be added through HTML.

How do I customize my newsletters through the HTML editor?

Start by typing out your email within the 'Body' section of the newsletter text editor. Once your email is written, open the HTML code editor by clicking on the ' '<> Source' button.

After clicking on 'Source', the email you composed will appear in HTML code. You can then edit that code to allow for different fonts, colours, and media to appear in your email.

How can I change the font type?

So while it is technically possible to use HTML code to embed a video in an newsletter, that video will most likely not appear in the recipients inbox. You can have an image as a link if you would like something more than a just a URL or hyperlink in your email.
