Send email html5 video

To send an HTML5 video via email, you'll need to use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to embed the video in the email. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Step 1: Prepare the video

• Make sure the video is in a compatible format (e.g., MP4, WebM, or OGG).
• Compress the video to reduce its file size.
• Upload the video to a server or a cloud storage service (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, or Amazon S3).

Step 2: Create the email template

• Design an HTML email template using a tool like HTML Email Builder or a code editor like Sublime Text.
• Add a <video> element to the template, specifying the video source and attributes:

  <video width="640" height="360" controls>
  <source src="https://example.com/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
  </video>

  Replace https://example.com/video.mp4 with the URL of your video.

Step 3: Add CSS styles

• Add CSS styles to the email template to control the video's appearance and behavior:

  
  video {
  width: 100%;
  height: auto;
  margin: 0 auto;
  display: block;
  }

video::-webkit-media-controls-play-button { display: none; }

video::-webkit-media-controls-fullscreen-button { display: none; }

These styles will make the video full-screen, hide the play button, and remove the controls.

**Step 4: Add JavaScript (optional)**

* If you want to add interactivity to the video (e.g., play/pause, volume control), you can add JavaScript code to the email template:
```javascript
<script>
  var video = document.querySelector('video');
  video.addEventListener('play', function() {
    // Add your JavaScript code here
  });
</script>

Step 5: Send the email

• Use an email service provider (ESP) like Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, or Sendinblue to send the email.
• Make sure the ESP supports HTML5 video embedding and has a feature to upload and host the video.

Tips and considerations

• Not all email clients support HTML5 video embedding. You may need to provide alternative content (e.g., an image or a link to the video) for older email clients.
• Some email clients may block or strip HTML5 video content due to security concerns. You may need to use a different approach, such as using a video hosting service like YouTube or Vimeo.
• Be mindful of email client limitations, such as file size restrictions and image blocking.
• Test your email template thoroughly to ensure it works across different email clients and devices.

By following these steps, you should be able to send an HTML5 video via email. However, keep in mind that there may be limitations and challenges depending on the email client and platform used.
