Hi all --
I'm sure this had been asked before --
How does one embed a video in an email?
...
Generally speaking, email clients do not support Javascript, even in
iframes (which to my way of thinking, shouldn't be supported in e-mail
anyway). The ones which DO support Javascript in e-mail messages (mostly
very old versions of Microsoft software) should be avoided like the
plague. Because, well, they are the equivalent of a horde of Black
Death-infected rats.
The Youtube online player relies on Javascript, so it won't run within
any e-mail app worth its salt.
Mailing the video as an attachment should be possible, but it's doubtful
that it will play inline inside the message -- that's highly dependent
on the capabilities of the e-mail program your recipient is using. But
your recipient should be able to launch the attached video on their
system's default media player. However, video files tend to be large,
which means your recipients might not be thrilled at receiving a
multi-megabyte e-mail message.
You might have slightly less terrible chances of success by using an
HTML5-compatible video format and HTML5 <video> element to embed it.
Or just simply send a link, which is simple, easy, and lightweight, as
MCBastos has pointed out.
