Video

To play a video in an HTML in-app message, include the following <video> element in your HTML, and replace the video names with your file’s name (or the remote asset’s URL). You can find other possible <video> options on MDN Web Docs.

</video>

To use a local video asset, be sure to include this file when uploading assets to your campaign.

Android considerations

To embed video and other HTML5 content in HTML in-app messages on Android, hardware acceleration is required to be enabled in the Activity where the in-app message is displayed. For more information, refer to the Android developer guide.

iOS considerations

To support iOS devices:

• You must include the playsinline attribute because full screen playback is not supported at this time.
• iOS does not support auto-play by default. To update this default option, you can modify the ABKInAppMessageHTMLViewController
