Adding images using Base64
Base64 is an encoding scheme used when binary data (such as images or video) needs to be transmitted over systems that are designed only to deal with data in a plain-text format. You can use Base64 images in your studio views by following these steps:
Take a screenshot of the image you want to use.
Convert the image to the Base64 format (with a number of free online tools available to use)
Add the Base64 format to the views metadata using the following:
"image: data:image/png;base64,[your base64 equivalent e.g. iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAA...]"
