<p dir="auto">I don't remember anything about direct embedding of html into a MailMate message to achieve that</p>
<p dir="auto">Here's how I did note to do it when that thread was making the rounds:</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; padding: 5px; background-color: #F7F7F7; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; overflow-x: auto; max-width: 90vw;"><code style="margin: 0 0; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7; padding: 0px;">[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFftmWSzgmk)
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">MailMate's markup engine will convert that (when unquoted of course) into a thumbnail with an embedded link to a video.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi there</p>
<p dir="auto">I tried to embed the HTML for a Vimeo video player (for my sister who would love such a direct way to look at a video).</p>
<p dir="auto">I saw on this list the around the subject “Embedding a video link with thumbnail in Mailmate”, but I still can’t make it work. The embed code from Vimeo is something like this:</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; padding: 5px; background-color: #F7F7F7; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; overflow-x: auto; max-width: 90vw;"><code style="margin: 0 0; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7; padding: 0px;"><div style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;"><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1087658066?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" title="The squeaking Flevo (2025)"></iframe></div><script src="https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js"></script>
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">But when I paste it directly into a Markdown message it is not rendered as a video link, I just see the embed text . — What’s going wrong?</p>
<p dir="auto">Many thanks for any pointers!</p>
