Embedding object movie into gmail

Hi all,

I am relatively new to Object2VR. What I am trying to do at the moment is send an email with an object movie embedded in it - I would like to contact potential clients with such emails and I think this could have nice impact to have an example object movie directly in the email.

When I embed my html code in an email (copy the source code and insert it via inspect element), I get an error message: "This content requires HTML5 & Javascript or Adobe Flash Player Version 9 or higher. Please enable Javascript!" My browser's Java is up to date.
I have done some googling and it seems that Gmail won't allow this for security reasons.

My question is, have any of you encountered this issue and have you found a workaround, or any other tip/solution/ideas that could help me achieve my goal?

Many thanks in advance for any advice!

We use an animated GIF in emails. We have not found a way to send a fully interactive 360 view via email. Sometimes the GIF even gets converted to a still image.

Best of luck.

Thanks for your tip. I will also explore the GIF option then.
