This previous "Answer" isn't very good answer. You can embed video easily in external web pages, so why can't you embed YT video in email? This is a valid question and shouldn't be taken lightly. The reason it is valid is because some people can't click on links in email to watch a video (maybe they're at work???) but if it were embedded in the email, there wouldn't be a problem. I don't really like the answer, "You Don't" If it's not possible, then say that. In this case, it is possible to do this. If you have a mac running safari. Go to the webpage that has the video, and click on <File><Mail Contents of This Page> It might not look right when you're getting ready to send it, but when it shows up on the other end, it will have the video embedded. As a matter of fact, the email will be an exact copy of the web page. Pretty cool. Go Safari/Mail!

OK Folks, I think what happens when companies do this is they are actually putting a picture that links to a website. Copy URl, got to keepvid.com save to desktop, Convert file to .mov .wmv. Upload to dailyemotion, folow directions, not the same as sending through GMAIL but it works. Nice product.

Well, strictly speaking, Gmail strips out the embed codes for YouTube. Yes, strange as that sounds. However, the best available answer is to use a bookmarklet named Lizzer (http://lizzer.com). It lets you search, find, and insert a YouTube into Gmail. However, when you insert, Lizzer will actually insert an image that's linked to the actual YouTube page. This is the best available work-around if you want to send a YouTube in Gmail. Check it out at http://lizzer.com.
