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.

Originally Answered: Why are most AAA video games generally released on Tuesdays? You do the last build the week before. It should be clean as a whistle by now so you can enjoy a restful weekend before release. But, if QA finds anything last minute you could even work the weekend, if need be, fix and retest by Monday.
