Sending Video Footage
When sending video footage from Messenger to Facebook, here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Use the right format: Videos in Facebook are in MP4 format. Make sure your video is in this format before sending.
- Use the right compression: Facebook compresses videos to make them work on mobile devices. To avoid this, you can use a video editing app like InShot or Lightworks to resize your video before sending it.
- Use the right bitrate: Facebook recommends using a bitrate of 5000 kbps for video. If your device or Facebook doesn’t support this bitrate, you may need to adjust it.
