Depends on your e-mail provider. If the account doesn't allow attachments over 20MB then you just won't be able to do it unless you upload the file somewhere else and attach a link instead. Furthermore, even if you CAN e-mail large-size attachments, the recipient's server has to allow incoming messages with large attachments. If that's not the case, your e-mail will be rejected and you'll get the generic mailer-daemon reply.

You don't want to send a 20MB video directly as an email attachment unless you know specifically the email service your recipient is using can handle it. Different email services have different file size limitations -- Gmail is 25MB while Juno has a variable limit of 10MB (for its free service) to 30MB (for its highest level of pay-for accounts). Size limitations vary widely for a lot of reasons so it's a big variable, especially if you're sending it out to multiple people using the endlessly different email services available.
A much more consistent and reliable way to share videos is to upload them to an online storage account (Google Drive, SpiderOak, Dropbox, MS OneDrive, etc.) and then just email the shareable link to that video. You're probably better off uploading things like videos to an online account anyway, it's important to have some kind of backup.
