How do i add a video to an email?

• Answer:

  Host your video on your web server or a dedicated server, since many email clients will not properly display your video if you add it directly to your email. Upload your video file to the directory on your server where you typically store video or images for emails. Give the file a name you will recognize and take note of the URL, including the "http," for your hosted file.Create a still image of your video---for example, take a screenshot of the video playing on your monitor. Import the screenshot into a graphics editing program like Adobe Photoshop and layer a "Play" button on top of the screenshot. Save the still image as a GIF or JPG on your local network or hard drive. Upload the still image to your web server.Add your still image to the HTML code for your email message using the "img src" command to reference the URL for your GIF or JPG. Don't forget to give your image "alt" HTML attributes that will display if your email recipient receives your message with images disabled. Using the "a href" HTML command, link your still image to the URL for your hosted video.Source:http://www.email-marketing-reports.com/iland/2009/03/video-email-current-practices.html
