  According to some older forum threads here, it seems like it’s not possible (technically) to have video in emails. See:

  I see.. thank you. I assumed there would be some sort of conversion built in, like Mail Chimp has, where the embedded video is replaced by a screen shot that links to the video. One of the threads listed stated that the video was replaced by a link, which would be something at least, but all I see in my email is blank space, which is very confusing in the post. I guess I will need to both embed the video and add a link below for email subscribers. It’s unfortunate..
