Embedding videos in Evernote notes?

Using the Evernote web clipper, I have the option to clip Youtube video pages.

This results in a note with an embedded video thumbnail, which when clicked opens the Youtube page:

How can I manually add a video to an Evernote note to have it show up in this manner?

There is no way to do this. Here is the answer from an Evernote developer: :

If you're a Premium user, you can store a video file in Evernote (provided it's 50mb or less), but there's currently no way to embed a playable video (a la YouTube or similar).

Indeed you'll have to manually do it:

1. Get a thumbnail to represent the video you want to link to.
2. Add it to your note.
3. Select the picture/thumbnail (left click).
4. Go to the Evernote menu at the top of the window and click Format.
5. Ten click Hyperlink.
6. Finally Add and paste there the link to open the video page.

There is a workaround that is worth considering

1. Right-click the YouTube video to get the embed code
2. Paste into a new notepad file and save as video.html
3. Drag this HTML file into your Evernote note
4. When you double click on the link it opens in a new tab, you don't get the message that you are leaving Evernote

It is now possible with the revamped Evernote applications (on all platforms - web app included). Just copy the YouTube URL, paste it in any note and press return. Evernote will automatically embed a playable video (probably an iframe) into your note.
