How to Send a Video That Is Too Large for a Message

Share a large video when messaging limits prevent direct attachment.

Quick Answer

Upload it to a trusted cloud/photo service with appropriate permissions and send the sharing link.

Step by Step

  1. Use the platform's official app or website and confirm you are signed into the intended account.
  2. Upload it to a trusted cloud/photo service with appropriate permissions and send the sharing link.
  3. Review privacy, audience, recipient, or recovery settings before confirming important changes.
  4. For account-security problems, secure the associated email account and enable two-factor authentication when available.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Social-media menus and features change frequently and can differ by device, account type, region, and app version.
  • Do not send money, passwords, one-time verification codes, or sensitive personal information to an account merely because its name or photo looks familiar.
