Hello @Katerina1 

Yes, it is possible to embed video in an email newsletter. But it is not a best practice because not all email clients support video playback.

Follow the link given below on how to add videos on emails and what all devices support videos.

As Manoj mentioned, while it is possible but it is not recommended to embed a video in the email/ newsletter as it will also increase the email size and impact the deliverability. Rather you can host the video on a web page and provide the link in the newsletter. This would also improve the throughput and simpler to implement.

Please also refer to the below post for video recommendations:

Hi @Katerina1 , most brands that want to embed video in a newsletter pay services like Movable Ink or Live Clicker, as they have code that allows this to work for various email clients or default images to be seen in other clients.
