DEPRECATED FEATURE:
We have upgraded the Vidyard & Gmail experience to GoVideo Enterprise, so this feature is being discontinued. If you would like to set up the Vidyard for Gmail experience, please visit the GoVideo Enterprise article and contact your CSM. (We promise you'll love it! It's everything here and more!)
With Vidyard for Gmail you can easily add a Vidyard video player into a Gmail message, right from inside Gmail! The Vidyard for Gmail Chrome extension gives you the ability to attach videos from your Vidyard groups, upload a new video, or even to record your own video and instantly attach it to your email.
Remember - you can add uploaded videos, videos from your Vidyard video library, and videos you record from your webcam all to the same player. To learn how to record a video frmo your webcam, and send it right to a prospect - all inside Outlook, follow the steps below.

Note: All the videos in your playlist will be played in one video player. The order of your playlist will determine the playback order. - Click Attach when you are happy with your playlist.
- After you attach your video it will attach as a linked thumbnail in your email.
- When your viewer clicks the thumbnail link, the player will open in a new page. Any videos you added to the playlist will be played in this player.
After your viewer clicks the video, you'll get an email from Vidyard with all the info on your viewer's engagement that you need to help you close the deal!
