With BombBomb's Add-In for Outlook 365, you can record and send video emails right from Outlook. Each video you record in Outlook will be automatically saved to your BombBomb account. And you can track your email opens, video views, and link clicks right in Outlook. Never miss a follow-up opportunity again.
Note: This add-in is compatible with Outlook 365 Web, Windows 10 Desktop Outlook 365, and Mac Desktop Outlook 365. If you don't have an Outlook 365 subscription or a Microsoft hosted or Exchange-based email account, we recommend using BombBomb's Chrome extension.
