Use the Video Business Card .html File as Your E-mail Signature

The following procedure varies, depending on your e-mail client. Instructions for popular e-mail clients are included below. If your e-mail client is not listed, please send an email to techsupport@videobloom.com, and request instructions for your e-mail client. Please note that only a few email client software programs allow the embedding of Flash video or any other software in the emails themselves. Only those users with Active X turned on will view the video business cards embedded in the emails. Those with Active X turned off, will be automatically redirected to a video business card Web page and they will be able to play the video business card there.

In order to follow this tutorial you need your Video Business Signature file. If you did not receive this in your email, please request one from techsupport@videobloom.com
