youtube links in email?

so in the past when I shared a youtube video in email you would get the blue underlined url and the picture would also load below it (sometimes by hitting "enter" ). Now I am only getting the url text part and not the picture part. I have tested it with random videos and none of the preview pictures (if that's what it is called) are showing up. e.g.:



is there a fix for this as I like to have the preview.

the links used to show like this as of a week or so ago:

Windows, chrome, [not apple or Mac]

it's always worked in the past until a few days ago. I don't know if it's a youtube thing or a yahoo thing?

I just checked my yahoo, it does the same as yours and none of the settings seem to address it.

Links to like news articles show the preview, but not youtube links.

I tried some googling but found no fixes, sry ...
