How to send videos on iPhone without a link?

I am trying to send videos on iPhone from youtube or somewhere WITHOUT just a link.

Does anyone know how to send it as if it were a video from my phone, where it appears as a playable video immediately in a

TEXT or email conversations? Versus just having a link? Thanks

Thanks -- What i mean is sending it through a text onversaion or email --


- If its a video from your iphone, it will show up immediately in the conversation and is a playable video WITHIN the text conversation that someone can play immediately.


- I want to be able to do that with a YT or other video that will embed the video in the text conversation, not just a link..


Thanks

Because you have the actual file IN your iPhone. When you send a video from YouTube the video is in YouTube server so you have to send the link that points to YouTube server. If you can download and save the video in your iPhone then you can send it as email attachment if its not too big (20MB is the limit for gmail as I know but some times the recipient has not able to accept this size). For these reasons it's more easy to send a link. You need seconds to sent it. The recipient has to download the video anyway. Either from link or attachment. In fact the attachment is bigger than the original video and also you need to upload the video which is much more slower than download.
