YouTube previews now display correctly in sent emails.

When you paste a YouTube link into an email from Conversations, recipients will see a clickable video thumbnail that opens the video in a new tab.

In the past, some pasted YouTube links could appear as a blank rectangle in certain inboxes, even when the preview looked correct while composing. This was caused by major email providers (such as Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo) blocking embedded video players. This update changes how previews are sent so they display more reliably across major inboxes.

This works with both standard YouTube watch links and shortened YouTube share links. There is no change to how you add videos—paste the link as you normally do.
