It is possible to attach a video file to an email, but there are a number of things that you need to remember.
The first and most important thing to keep in mind is that you need a video capture device to do this. You cannot send an email with a video file attached if your email software does not natively support video files. Furthermore, you cannot attach a video file that is larger than 4GB to an email. Most email clients and web-based email services limit the size of the files that you can attach, so first things first; make sure that you are working with a computer or device that is capable of capturing video files, and that you are not sending the file to exceed those 4GB limits.
Email Body Basics
When sending an email with a video file attached, you need to make sure that you have set the email body to a specific type. You cannot send a generic email with a video attachment, you need to set the body of the email to be video-friendly.
If you are using Google Gmail, you can accomplish this by going to email > settings > preferences > and clicking on Show video button.
Alternatively, you can use a program like Basecamp to create a buzz over email by allowing users to click a button to play a 3D animated video explaining the main points in their emails.

Sensitivity And Timing
When you are sending an email with a video file attached, you need to be careful about the sensitivity of the email and the timing of the email. You cannot send a video file that is too sensitive, and you cannot send a video file at the end of a long email, as it may cause the recipient to get an email virus infection.
