### Steps to Embed Screendesk Videos in Intercom

1. **Get the GIF Thumbnail**
   * Navigate to the Screendesk video you wish to embed.
   * Click on **Share > Copy GIF Thumbnail** to copy the GIF thumbnail to your clipboard.
2. **Add the GIF to Your Intercom Article**
   * Paste the copied GIF thumbnail directly into your Intercom article. The GIF will be embedded and will start playing automatically, offering an interactive visual aid to your readers.
3. **Add Links to the GIF and Title**
   * Note that Intercom automatically removes embedded links/URLs when pasting images and text.
   * To ensure users can access the video, add the link to the GIF title and also on the GIF itself.
4. **Create a Call to Action on the Screendesk Video**
   * Go to the Screendesk video settings.
   * Click on **Call to Action**, and add a link that directs users back to your article or another relevant page.
