When someone sends you a YouTube link, you’ll now get a thumbnail preview of the video. Click play and another box will open up inside of Gmail that streams it. For additional options like full screen mode, embedding, or adding the video to your favorites, you’ll still need to click over to YouTube.

While Google has been making cuts with some of its other products, Gmail just continues to get more and more impressive and indispensible. They recently added audio and video chat, while a host of new utilities in Labs like the “Send and Archive” button keep the service miles ahead of the competition.

What would we still like to see added to Gmail? GrandCentral integration might be interesting, while the long-rumored GDrive would be quite useful. Have your own ideas? Share them in the comments.
