The users of Gmail will soon be able to enjoy a new feature that will allow them to watch videos directly from their e-mails.
Google is making every effort to offer new features to all its services and this time it was the turn of the company's email. The latest update allows users to watch videos from within Gmail, using the same streaming infrastructure that YouTube and the Google Drive.
The new feature will only work if you are sending small videos because, as everyone knows, Gmail only allows attachments up to 25MB. So imagine if the video is of high quality, 25MB is too small volume. However, larger files are automatically sent to Google Drive anyway, which means they can be transmitted regardless of whether or not Google Mail supports this feature.
Η change it obviously targets the smaller clips, which you want to share with your friends and family.
So today you will no longer need to download the attachment to see it, which can save you more time.
“Today, we're rolling out an improvement to desktop Gmail users that makes previewing video attachments in Gmail much smoother and faster. Previously, in order to view a video attachment in Gmail, you had to download it to the computer and open it with a media player. Starting today, when you open an email with video attachments, you'll see a thumbnail of the video and have the ability to stream through Gmail," the post on blog of Google.
Changes may take up to two weeks to see them in your Inbox.
