Automatically play a video on preview

H

Hector Balanzar

Hello back at work I've been ask to deploy a video as a part of an inner work
publicity. Is there a way to show automatically the video from preview in
Outlook? Or is there any other way to show automatically the video when
receiving by the client without user interaction?

Regards
Hector

Hello Brian:

Thanks for your post and sorry for not saying it earlier it's MS Outlook
2007. The only thing I've achieved so far is send by mail a link to a server
containing the video and stream it, yet the video is not that long so it may
be sent as an attach on our LAN, or may be set the same link aproach but
reproduce it automatically when the mail is previewed or opened.

Regards and happy hollydays

Outlook 2007 cannot display active content in the Reading Pane.

I don't know of any way to do that and any properly configured PC would
prvent you from doing it even if there were a way. In no way should you be
able to run something on someone else's PC without their explicit
permission.
