While so much of the world has moved video-first, email is text-first by its very nature.

Marketing emails in particular, however, often benefit from media like videos. We're excited to launch a brand new component for displaying YouTube videos in your Broadcasts.

<video
  src="https://cdn.resend.com/posts/new-youtube-component.mp4"
  autoPlay
  loop
  muted
  playsInline
  onClick="this.controls = true"
  className="extraWidth"
/>

This feature in takes any YouTube link and:
- Embeds a thumbnail of the video with a link to the video
- Optionally adds a YouTube play button to the thumbnail

Please let us know if you have any suggestions on how to make the editor component even better. We are always looking for ways to improve the Broadcasts experience.
