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:
- Get a thumbnail to represent the video you want to link to.
- Add it to your note.
- Select the picture/thumbnail (left click).
- Go to the Evernote menu at the top of the window and click Format.
- Ten click Hyperlink.
- Finally Add and paste there the link to open the video page.
There is a workaround that is worth considering
- Right-click the YouTube video to get the embed code
- Paste into a new notepad file and save as video.html
- Drag this HTML file into your Evernote note
- 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.
