Embed youtube video in gmail
Unfortunately, it's not possible to directly embed a YouTube video in a Gmail email. Gmail has some limitations on what types of content can be embedded in emails, and YouTube videos are not one of them.
However, there are a few workarounds you can use to share a YouTube video in a Gmail email:
- Share the video link: You can simply copy the YouTube video link and paste it into the email body. The recipient can then click on the link to watch the video on YouTube.
- Use a third-party add-on: There are some third-party add-ons available for Gmail that allow you to embed YouTube videos in your emails. For example, you can try the "YouTube Embed" add-on or the "Embedly" add-on. These add-ons may require you to install them in your Gmail account and may have some limitations.
- Use a screenshot or thumbnail: If you want to share a specific part of the video, you can take a screenshot or create a thumbnail and attach it to the email. This way, the recipient can get an idea of what the video is about without having to watch the entire thing.
- Use a video sharing service: If you want to share a video with a specific group of people, you can use a video sharing service like Vimeo or Wistia, which allow you to embed videos in emails.
Here's an example of how you can share a YouTube video link in a Gmail email:
Subject: Check out this video!
Hi [Recipient],
I wanted to share this video with you: [insert YouTube video link here]
Best, [Your Name]
Remember to always check the recipient's email settings and ensure that they can receive embedded links and content.
