Description
This is a unique block and can only be used once per message. This is an interactive Hotspot block giving the recipient the opportunity to interact with the feature directly within the email itself. When a Hotspot is selected a small window appears on the screen. This window can contain all sorts of information – a description of the little black dress that was presented in a hero image, some nutritional information about a product, and so on. Each Hotspot contains a button, too.
Like the Video & Carousel blocks, asset provision is important.

Padding
As with all blocks, the Video block is no exception when it comes to padding. Padding is the space between the block's content and its border. This can be edited in the Details Tab in the usual way.

Block Background Color
Used to change the block background color. Only use HEX color values. HTML email only recognizes 6-digit long-hand versions and has patchy support for shorthand versions.
Option | Details | Default |
Background Color | Block Background Color | #ffffff |
Hotspot 1 Setting
Each hotspot can be positioned independently of one another. Place them at key locations over your hero image without obscuring its intent. Enter a percentage value without adding the % symbol. The block will do that automatically.
All the hotspot options are the same, although they all start off in different default places on the hero image. Here are the defaults for Hotspot Number 1.
Option | Details | Default |
Hotspot 1 Setting | Hotspot 1 Position Left (%) | 25 |
Hotspot 1 Position Top (%) | 15 |
Background Image
The background image is your key feature hero image, over which the Hotspot will be placed. A desktop, mobile, and fallback will be required. Use the default images as image-sizing templates.
