Short Answer:
You can upload videos up to 100MB, but we recommend keeping them under 50MB for best performance. Videos must be under 30 seconds, and while all native iOS/Android formats are supported, MP4 is preferred.
NOTE: Must include at least one image when posting a video. This is because some of the connected platforms, like the Google Business Profile, require an image.
Overview:
The Social Media Manager tool is designed for quick, reliable video uploads that work seamlessly across both iOS and Android devices. To ensure smooth posting and scheduling, the tool limits uploads to short, lightweight files. Although uploads up to 100MB are technically supported, larger videos may fail or take significantly longer to process, especially on mobile networks.
Video Upload Requirements:
Maximum File Size: 100MB
Recommended File Size: Under 50MB (reduces processing and upload issues)
Maximum Length: 30 seconds
Supported File Types: All native iOS and Android video formats
Preferred Format: MP4 for consistent compatibility and faster processing
Include One Image: Platforms, like Google Business, require an image to post
Why We Recommend Smaller Files:
The Social Media Manager tool transcodes and processes videos before posting. Keeping your videos short and efficiently compressed helps ensure:
Faster uploads
Fewer processing errors
Smoother scheduling and posting
Better performance across device types
Large or lengthy videos may stall or fail during upload.
Tips for Successful Uploads:
Trim videos to 30 seconds or less before uploading
Choose “Compressed,” “Small,” or “Save as SD/HD” options on your device when available
Export as MP4 if using a third-party editing app
Avoid slow cellular networks when uploading larger files
