Send a video that will not attach
Get a long clip to somebody when the message refuses to carry it.
Email and text cap how much one message can carry, and most videos are over it. The clip is fine.
The way round it is a link: the video stays where it is, and the reader is handed a door to it.
Key points
- Email and text cap how big one message can be
- Sending a link delivers a video of any length
What to remember
- A link carries any size. An attachment does not.
- Big videos travel as links, not as attachments.
Try this
Try attaching a video to an email on your own device. When it offers a link, read what it says.
