How come Mail Designer 365 does not support HTML 5 video tags?
There are numerous bugs that come with HTML 5 video tags. A large number of devices have severe issues with them. For example, in most iOS versions, iPhones and iPads will display just a black rectangle that recipients can't interact with. When you tap the area where the video is supposed to be, nothing happens. It doesn't even try to open the video in the browser or open the appropriate app. Due to these factors that are beyond our control, we decided that it is best to no longer support the HTML 5 video tags. However, you can easily add video links by dragging a video placeholder into an image area. Then, you can choose your own preview image for the video. If you are linking to a YouTube video, you can generate a preview image by clicking "Generate preview."
Please note: Email clients are picky when it comes to the HTML they will support - things that you can safely use in almost any web-browser won't necessarily work for emails.
