Mail Chimp: Pasting video URL into the video block freezes my page

10 replies
Hello!
Basically I have a video uploaded onto a website, and when I go to paste the URL into "video URL", it freezes my page and I have to refresh.

I tried removing the video block with a new one. I also don't think I can use that "service" tag as it's not uploaded to Youtube, etc. When I click on it's source, it's BLOB format. Not sure if that effects anything.

Thanks for any help!

    I am confused.

    You need to give more details.

      Like what specifically? When I'm editing a template, I insert a video clip block (I'm using the builder mode, not coding) and there's two options: one to insert the video URL and the other to upload a preview. When I paste the URL from the website it's uploaded on into the block, it just freezes to the point the page asks to stop or wait until it's done, which waiting does nothing. I don't even see the link I pasted in, it just freezes.

    WordPress, instapage, click funnels, ECT.

    And what type of video?

    It may be easier to write it like a child can understand not trying to be funny but a lot of people have not used the service you are using so you will get a lot of

    Have you ever considered asking the good folks at MailChimp tech support? It's part of what you are paying for.

    Just sayin' . . . . .

    Avoid Mailchimp and use a better autoresp like ActiveCampaign or Sendlane.

    Upload into a server then paste url

    This happened once to me. Even now, when I post the video URL - YouTube URL - my browser seizes a bit. Some of it is because of my Chromebook, but much of it was because I did not clear my cache frequently enough.

    Could be a caching issue, or perhaps a slow internet connection.
