Are video thumbnails flagged as spammy?

Myth: False. Video thumbnails are not flagged as spammy. They are common legitimate email content. The image itself does not trigger filtering; overall sender patterns do.

Actual video embedding has limited email client support. Most video in email uses static thumbnail images linking to video content. This standard approach works fine.

Ensure video thumbnail images are not the only content. Balance with text. Link to legitimate video hosting. Normal video marketing practices cause no deliverability issues.
