I have created a email with a video in it. But when I run a test email and click on the video it either takes my to a hubspot page to view the video or it takes me to youtube to watch the video. Is there a way to embed it so that you see it in the email without it sending you somewhere else?

Hi @RobertsonSpruce,

This is expected behavior, as explained here: [Add videos to HubSpot content](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-pages/add-videos-to-your-hubspot-content#add-videos-to-emails)

"HubSpot video is supported in the video module of the [drag and drop email editor](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/cms-general/create-and-edit-pages-with-the-drag-and-drop-editor). Since video is not supported on most email clients, videos added to your marketing emails will appear as a thumbnail image with a video player button.

This thumbnail image will link to a page where your email recipient can view your video, which will be hosted on the [primary domain](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/domains-and-urls/connect-a-domain-to-hubspot#connect-your-domain) for the web versions of emails."

Best regards!

Hi Karsten,

Is this still the case that videos can only be hosted on the primary domain for the web versions of emails? I have 3 business units and have run into the issue when one linked a video in their email it went to the primary domain which is not there business unit. Is there a way to work around this? I can’t have multiple primary domains.
