Embedding a KillerPlayer video directly into an email can be challenging due to limited support for embedded videos across various email clients. However, you can effectively share your KillerPlayer videos by incorporating a video thumbnail image linked to the video. Here's how:

  1. Generate the KillerPlayer Embed Code:
    • Log in to your KillerPlayer account.
    • Provide the YouTube URL of your video and customize the player settings as desired.
    • KillerPlayer will generate an HTML snippet for embedding.
  2. Capture a Thumbnail Image:
    • Take a screenshot of your video or design a custom thumbnail that includes a play button icon, indicating it's a video.
  3. Upload the Thumbnail Image:
    • Host the thumbnail image on your server or a reliable image hosting service.
  4. Insert the Thumbnail into Your Email:
    • In your email editor, insert the thumbnail image where you want the video to appear.
  5. Link the Thumbnail to the Video:
    • Highlight the inserted thumbnail image.
    • Add a hyperlink to the image that directs to the webpage where your KillerPlayer video is embedded.

By following these steps, recipients can click on the thumbnail in your email, which will open the video in their browser, providing a seamless viewing experience. This method is widely recommended due to its compatibility with most email clients and its ability to enhance engagement without technical issues.
