Videos are a highly shared media form in today’s world. It’s easy to share videos across social media platforms, but embedding a video to share in an email can be frustrating – pasting a YouTube video link in Gmail, for example, only adds a thumbnail of the video to the bottom of the email. These thumbnails are cut off from view if the email is long, and they can’t be embedded at specific places in the email. In this video, we'll show you how to embed a video in an email at the place of your choice to make it enticing and clickable.

1. Add a play button image to your video clip here: kapwing.com/studio
2. Convert the video clip to a GIF
3. Insert the GIF in your email and hyperlink the original video link
