Most email clients can't display embedded video content, and will strip the code from your campaign. When you create a campaign in MailChimp, you can link an image, or use merge tags to share a thumbnail image of the video that links to the video's URL.
Video merge tags work with popular video hosting services, including Vimeo, YouTube, Maker.tv, Vzaar, and Wistia.
Rather than embed video directly into an email, video merge tags generate a thumbnail image of a video player and link it to your video online. Although the video can't play directly in an email program, the video player image mimics an online player, with a play button and progress bar. When a subscriber clicks the thumbnail, they can watch the video in a new browser window.
Basic Format
All video merge tags require you to enter some specific information about your video. The video merge tag uses the following format.
*|YOUTUBE:[$vid=fj77lSG6Bl8, $max_width=300, $ratings=N, $views=N, $border=N, $title=N, $trim_border=N]|*
Which services support which options?
Some services support certain parameters, and others don't. This handy chart identifies which parameters can be used in a particular service's video merge tag.

Some email clients don't support animated GIFs, but if you would like to include a GIF in your campaign, you can upload an animated GIF. Because versions of Outlook from 2007 to the present use Microsoft Word to render HTML email, GIFs and animated content don't display well. Compatibility issues cause only the first frame of the GIF to display.
To accommodate for this, we recommend that you produce your file so that the first frame contains the important information. When you're designing emails that contain animated content, always plan for how to minimize the impact on the overall campaign if the animated content fails.
