Google adds video embeds to Gmail chat
Google has added a new video preview feature to Gmail Chat. If you want to share a video from YouTube or Google Video with someone, just drop the URL into your chat window. A thumbnail image will show up in the chat window, and if you click on the preview a small video player will open up on the same page.
As you'd expect, this feature does not work with web videos that are not hosted by Google. So you can't embed Hulu. DailyMotion, or Viddler videos just yet.
