Learn 4 ways to send Gmail video email with the newest version of BombBomb’s Chrome extension … the PowerWheel.
How to Send Video in Gmail: Meet the PowerWheel
Watch the video above to see all the new features of the BombBomb PowerWheel, including ways to send Gmail video email any time you Compose or Reply in your inbox.
You can record a new video or choose and send any video out of your library. So you can use the same video over and over in different Gmail sends.
How to Send Gmail Video 1: Red Record Button in PowerWheel
Click the red record button in the middle of the PowerWheel to open up the pop-over recorder.
From the recorder, click the red circle to record, click the red square to stop, then “Save” to drop the video into the Compose or Reply email. Notice that it’s automatically given an animated preview to help improve video play rate.
NOTE: By clicking and dragging, you can move the video recorder anywhere on your screen and you can move the PowerWheel itself anywhere inside the Compose or Reply window.
How to Send Gmail Video 2: “Videos” in PowerWheel
The big, red record button opens up the video recorder. The smaller “Videos” button on the PowerWheel opens up your video library.
Any video you’ve recorded or uploaded into your BombBomb account is available here.
You can scroll through them in reverse chronological order (most recent first). You can also filter by tag – so be sure to assign a tag to your frequently used videos in your main BombBomb account.
After you click the “Videos” button on the PowerWheel, you’ll have access to your BombBomb video library, as well as other tools and features.
Select the video you want, then click “Insert Video.”
How to Send Gmail Video 3: “Send Video” Button
For a time saving shortcut, click the “Send Video” button in the top left corner of your Gmail inbox.
Just one click of that button will:
- Create a new “Compose” email
- Open up the BombBomb video recorder
This button is a carry over from previous versions of the BombBomb extension for Google Chrome.
How to Send Gmail Video 4: BombBomb Icon in Compose & Reply Windows
