is it possible to display images and youtube videso in emails?
Example: if an email containing
<img src="img.jpg" /> and the youtube <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2ItZFNegL80" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Does it get display in the email?
If you use GMail, the YouTube link will automatically be expanded at the bottom of the message into a working video. Other clients may have similar functionality, but because JavaScript, HTML5 Video and Flash aren't supported by email clients, there's no general way for you to embed video.
If you want to include a preview image, you can build a URL for it from the video URL.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUTUBE_ID
Image: http://img.youtube.com/vi/YOUTUBE_ID/0.jpg
For example:
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwFbjJasW3E

Is it possible to embed video into an email that will allow the viewer to watch the video within the email itself?
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wbY_Szw8X7Q" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
When I use above iframe code in my email template instead of the video it showing blank.
The answer, unfortunately, is that it's not possible. You need to:
Provide a link to the video source (in your case https://www.youtube.com/embed/wbY_Szw8X7Q)
Attach this file as an mp4 to the email itself.
It depends on the E-mail provider. Each provider supports different "HTML E-mails". Some support iframes, others don't. I would encourage you to Google which E-mail providers support iframes, and which don't.
Some pointers:

You must not embed a video because it is not supported by major email clients. You may however show a thumbnail image, with a link. Once they click on on the thumbnail "play button", it redirects to the link URL, and plays the video, in a browser.
I want to put a video on my website using the embed option on youtube.It shows up but when i try to play it appears a text saiyng that the video is restricted on some websites and gives me the option to watch on youtube . I saw that i need to accept some terms of conditions and that includes the youtube API from what i saw .
Is there another way to put a video on a website without the API ? Also i should mention that the website is not on a server.
I'm using this iframe to show the video :
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dgV1n57ejCY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I have the following video iFrame embed code on a page on my website (mywebsite.com/page2) - it plays a video that is hosted on an external site (http://wistia.com). I want to be able to send email clients a link to my video on my page (mywebsite.com/page2/mywebsitevideolink) - not a link to the external website, a link that opens up mywebsite.com/page2 and displays the video on my page that you would have to scroll down to see and starts playing it. How can this be accomplished? Thanks.
<p class="rtecenter"><iframe allowfullscreen=""
allowtransparency="true" class="wistia_embed" frameborder="0"
height="480" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen=""
name="wistia_embed" oallowfullscreen="" scrolling="no"
src="//fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/myvideo" webkitallowfullscreen=""
width="640"></iframe></p> "
Modify your p tag to <p class="rtecenter" id="video">and then your link is http://mywebsite.com/page2#video
Hope that this'll help you.
You can also set up a file which displays when you type /page2/mywebsitevideolink and redirects to /page2#video
If you want to link to a certain part of your page, just use an anchor link.
<div name="videopart">
VIDEO HERE
</div>
And for the link: http://yoursite.com/video.html#videopart
And for the player to autoplay, if you are using your video hosting's player, look in teir documentation for how to autoplay. If your just using the html tag, and the word autoplay in the beginning tag.
I have been looking for a way of embedding youtube videos into my site. The website is made of html and the youtube videos should auto-update as I would like to display all the videos on the current account? I know theres ways of embedding one video or playlists but Im not quite sure how to go about embedding everything on a users channel? Any Tips?
Just use the following as the src of an iframe:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=*USERNAME*
For example:
<iframe id="ytplayer" width="640" height="360"
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=apple"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
You can get info on the parammeters of the player on this link: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#Manual_IFrame_Embeds
Scroll a little and you will see the url for user videos.
How do I play a YouTube video in HTML5?
This is probably what you're looking for:
Force HTML5 youtube video
HTML5 video may play if the user has opted in:
<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0"> </iframe>
HTML5-by-defualt video - notice the ?html5=1:
<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID?html5=1" frameborder="0"> </iframe>
The "HTML5" way of doing video would be to use a <video> tag. This post shows that it can be done, but it doesn't look like the best option. Show Youtube video source into HTML5 video tag?
You can also take a look how YouTube does it, opt in at: http://www.youtube.com/html5
If you're using safari, there's an YouTube5 extension that will make all youtube videos into html5 videos.

Supports videos that youtube does not (videos with ads etc)
You can embed videos effortlessly by right clicking the video on youtube,
copying the embed video option, and pasting it in your html where you want it to appear, The problem with this you wont have control over what is shown in the embed code apart from the clip you are interested in, ie, adverts playlists etc
