It is generally not recommended to directly embed videos in email because many email clients (like Gmail and Outlook) don’t support it. Embedding a video in an email is technically possible in some cases, but not all email clients can support viewing a video directly from email.

**The most common and best practice is embedding an image or GIF and linking to a hosted video on a landing page or video platform (like Biteable's watch pages "Copy Link" or YouTube). This can maximize both the number of recipients who can view your video and your email deliverability. **

Biteable makes it easy to select eye-catching thumbnails that drive engagement with our thumbnail selection and export feature.
