Aside from sending regular emails with photos and documents, you can also send videos with it. Email providers like Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo offer various options to send videos through Email which most of the users are not aware about.
In Gmail, if your video is less than 25MB you can just attach and send it like you normally do. But If the video is large in size, Gmail doesn’t support large video attachments and it will automatically convert your attachment into a Google Drive link. You can also send YouTube videos through Gmail.
In this article we discuss different ways on how to send a video through email in Gmail. Read on!
