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 makes every effort to offer new features to all of its services and this time it was the company's email order. The latest update allows users to watch videos through Gmail using the same streaming infrastructure available on YouTube and Google Drive.
The new feature will only work if you're sending small videos because, as everyone knows, Gmail only allows attachments up to 25MB. So imagine if the video is high quality, 25MB is too small a volume. But larger files are automatically sent to Google Drive anyway, which means they'll be able to be transmitted regardless of whether Google Mail supports this feature or not.
The change obviously targets the smaller clips 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 your computer and open it with a media player. Starting today, when you open one message email with video attachments, you will 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 in your Inbox.
