How to send full movie in messenger?
Do you know how many people around the world use Facebook in 2022? About 3 billion actually, but do they really get the most of it? Today we’ll talk about a cool Facebook feature - the messenger. Since it became a separate app, Facebook is doing quite a lot to help it stand out. Ready to explore some great lifehacks for it? Let’s go!
Installing Facebook Messenger directly on your desktop makes using it very convenient. This way you’ll be able to chat without getting your feed scrolling interrupted. You can also chat by accessing messenger.com and adding your friend’s username to the address after the “/”. This lets you directly open the chat you need.
Facebook Messenger, like most other platforms, has limits on the size of files you can attach to your message. You can upload a file up to 25MB in size, which is the same size limit as Google has for Gmail. For sharing large files (more than 25MB in size), you can use cloud storage services. If your main concern in transferring files is security, you may want to read this article: Guide to Secure File Transfer.
Need to transfer a really huge file, like 100GB or larger? Not a problem with FileWhopper!
You pay a fee depending on file size, but your first file transfer up to 5GB is actually free. Your files are encrypted and password-protected with FileWhopper. A great feature is that files can be downloading while still being uploaded. You can share the download link to your large file via Facebook Messenger.
Another great feature is sending and requesting money from your friends. To enable this option you have to connect your credit or debit card to your profile.
To do it, simply go to Profile > Payments > Add New Debit Card. A soon as it’s successfully done, you’ll be able to send and request money directly from a chat. Find the plus sign in the bottom-left corner, select Payments, and enter the amount you need.
Another good news is that you can instantly add a friend by allowing them to scan your personal profile code.
In order to open the code, simply tap your profile icon in the top left corner of the app, then tap the large profile picture in the center of your screen. You will see 2 options there: to show your own code on the screen or to scan somebody else’s code.
Some Facebook games, like Snake or Packman, are really addictive, so now you have a chance to pay them directly from you messenger. If you want to invite a friend to play with you, open a conversation and select Games from the “+” button options.
If you want to get entertained by artificial intelligence, you can always chat with bots.
Find Discover in the bottom-right corner, and start a conversation with the bot you like.
Facebook messenger also supports secret conversations using end-to-end encryption. This means nobody can read your messages outside that chat, not even a government or Facebook developers.
Tap ‘Secret’ in the top right corner, and select a friend to start a secret chat with. You can also make all messages disappear after some time, just click the clock icon.
Easily change the appearance of your chats any way you like by customizing the group color, friends’ nicknames and the conversation icon (instead of “thumbs up”).
To make messenger even more useful and convenient, the Facebook team has allowed integration with some third party apps to let you send your friends a lot of cool stuff in just one click.
If you’re keen on travelling and are discussing some plans with your friends, you have the option of sending hotel and flight information with the Kayak extension. Feel free to share food recipes from the Food Network, good restaurants from OpenTable, music from Spotify, and news articles from the Wall Street Journal.
As usual, add these third party apps using the Plus icon.
Scribble Chat is created to make your messages more fun. It makes funny 3D animations right in your messenger. To access it, tap the “+”.
In case you get tired of writing, you can record a short audio message and send it to your friends. Tap the microphone icon and hold it while speaking. Then just release it and your audio will be sent.
The major difference between Facebook Messenger and platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram is that Messenger requires a Facebook login while the other two only require your phone number to sign you up.
WhatsApp limits the number of photos you can send at once as a batch, while Messenger and Telegram allow you to send as many as you like.
When it comes to file-sharing, the disparity is quite glaring. Facebook Messenger only allows you to send files up to 25MB at a time. If you have larger files, you can compress them or look for another alternative.
For WhatsApp, you can only send documents of up to 100 MB. However, you're only allowed to send media files of not more than 16 MB.
Telegram allows for the biggest file size limit of the lot. You can send documents of up to 2 GB at once.
That said, if you want to send files with sizes higher than these, there are alternatives. For example, as we mentioned, there's no file size limit when transferring files with FileWhopper and you can send your first 5 GB of files for free.
However, if you don’t have a lot of experience with Messenger and have never sent videos before, you might not know how it works. It’s an incredibly straightforward process which we’ll explain in detail.
Furthermore, we’ll talk about how to send Messenger videos to WhatsApp or in your device’s default messaging app. Finally, this article will show how to find a workaround solution to Facebook Messenger’s 25MB video size cap.
You can use Messenger on your computer, via browser, or on your mobile device. If you’re talking to one of your Facebook contacts and want to share a fun or informative video, here’s what you need to do.
Sending videos in Messenger on your computer:
Sending videos in Messenger on your mobile device:
That’s it – your video is on its way.
Note: Messenger supports sending media files up to 25MB in size.
Sometimes you receive a video from a contact in Messenger, but you want to share it with someone who doesn’t have Facebook.
Perhaps their preferred communication method is the native messaging app on your phone. But the problem is that the Messenger app doesn’t support forwarding a video to another app directly.
What you need to do, instead, is download the video from Messenger first and send it to the text messaging app.
Here’s how to download a video from the Messenger app:
The selected video will be automatically saved to the gallery.
If you’re an iPhone user, you might already know how to send media from your phone to text, but let’s see what that looks like when sending video:
If you’re sending to another iPhone user and are connected to the internet, the video will be sent via the iMessage service, and additional charges won’t apply. But if you’re sending to an Android user or are not connected to the internet, the video will convert to a Multimedia Message (MMS), and charges may apply.
The built-in messaging app on Android may differ depending on the manufacturer. However, the process is roughly the same, regardless of which phone brand you’re using.
So, sharing a video you’ve downloaded from the Messenger app to your phone with a contact may look something like this:
The Android messaging app will convert the video to MMS, which also means it will automatically compress. As a result, the video quality will decrease. Some Android message apps will suggest trimming the video to avoid losing quality.
Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp are both subsidiaries of Meta. Regardless, you still can’t send a video from Messenger directly to WhatsApp.
While that might change in the future, for now, you first need to download the video to your mobile device and share it with WhatsApp.
It may seem like a complicated process, but in reality, users can download the video and forward it to WhatsApp in less than a minute, especially if their device and the internet connection are fast.
Follow these steps to download a video from the Messenger app to your phone:
Once the video is saved to your device, you can share it with a WhatsApp contact. The process is very straightforward. Here’s what you do:
Keep in mind that you can trim and edit the video or add a caption in WhatsApp before sending it.
Sending videos via Messenger can be fun and practical but having only 25MB to work with might seem somewhat limiting. When recording the video directly from the Messenger app, you get 15 seconds that fit into those 25MB.
But perhaps you want to send what you’ve previously made with your phone or have downloaded from a different location, and it’s way over the 25MB limit. If you try sending it through Messenger, you’ll only get an error message.
Therefore, you must find a workaround solution. It might not be ideal, but if you want to send the video to contacts in Messenger and not some other messaging app, you’ll need to compress the video. Fortunately, there are many excellent video compression apps available for free.
If you need to compress a video using your computer, the Media.io is a great solution. You can consider the Video Compress app if you’re an Android or iPhone user.
But another option doesn’t require using third-party video editing tools. You can upload a video directly to Facebook and share the link to the video with a contact in the Messenger app.
Here’s how to share a Facebook video link to anyone in your Messenger friend list from your computer:
The process is very similar when using the Messenger mobile app:
The person you’re sending the video to will receive the link to the post on your Facebook feed.
Sending a video in Messenger doesn’t require too much effort, especially if you’re recording directly from the app. But if you’re sending a video from your phone, it gets a little more complicated due to media file size limits.
- Tap and hold a video in Google Photos to see the toolbar with a Share button at the top of the screen.
- Use the "Create link" button to share your video with others.
- After selecting a video, tap "Share" at the bottom of the screen.
