The Current State of Video in Email - Articles & Tips - Campaign Monitor.
Do you need to embed? This test was performed purely to test the technical side of embedding video in email. What it didn’t cover was if you should be embedding video in email at all. Instead of embedding it, the obvious alternative is simply linking to the video from your email (read more from Mark Brownlow on this approach). By opening your video in an external browser, you can use just about any of the techniques above and it will work reliably.


You can also do this through apple by using the mail contents of this page function from safari. I don't know the reliability of it across all browsers, however it is fun to email you tube videos.
