Videos in email Extensive testing by Campaign Monitor reveals that none of the traditional video playing technologies (Flash, Java etc.) work when embedded in an email. But 2009 brought us some alternatives. Animated images If you get away from the semantic baggage associated with the term "video" you see that animated images (typically gifs), done appropriately, actually present a video-like experience (albeit with no sound). It was Chad White of the Retail Email Blog who really brought the email marketing world's attention to this possibility: see all his posts on the topic. Style Campaign's Anna Yeaman then took on the baton, explaining how to use common software tools to turn video content into an "animated video" suited for use in email. You'll find more practical insight on implementation and the pros and cons of animated video from Justin Foster at the Video Commerce Consortium and in this presentation. Animated images/videos work just about everywhere except in Outlook 2007 (which only displays the first frame of the animation). However, like any image, they are subject to image blocking and are problematical when viewed on mobile devices.

According to a full search of downloads on Microsoft's website, there is only a video e-mail add-in for Outlook 2003. You may have to research the video toolbar for Outlook 2007 more.
