Lots more info needed:

- What email client are you using?

- What email provider are you using?

- What type of youtube email are you receiving?

Embedded videos in emails is a very rare feature in modern email browsers due to security concerns. I know Gmail has a feature that scans your emails for youtube links and allows you to play them in an overlay rather than going to the Youtube site, that's about the only feature I can think of that lets you play youtube videos in emails.

Is the video actually embedded in the email or now just a link?

Probably a new security setting with the gmail provider.
