WhatsApp Videos: These formats are supported

In WhatsApp's Messenger, not only text and voice messages can be sent, but also photos and videos. However, it happens that sending a video fails because of the format or size of the clip.

How to send videos on WhatsApp

Generally, you can send any video to your contacts on WhatsApp. However, there are some restrictions. Videos, for example, may be no larger than 16 MB. Otherwise, they must be shortened or limited in quality. WhatsApp usually compresses videos automatically to reduce the resolution and thus the file size. If videos are still too large, you have to manually edit them again.

Videos: These formats can be sent via WhatsApp

Following video formats are supported by WhatsApp:

• Generally, you can send videos via WhatsApp in the formats MP4, AVI, FLV, MKV, MOV and 3GP. Most smartphones use the MP4 format by default.
• If you record a video via the WhatsApp camera, it is also in MP4 format.
• If you encounter a format that you can not send, should edit the video on the PC. There you access the video file and shorten or compress it accordingly. Auch das Dateiformat können Sie mit einem passenden Programm verändern.
• Sowohl bei Android als auch bei iOS gibt es in den App-Stores außerdem verschiedene Apps, die eine Bearbeitung auch auf dem Smartphone ermöglichen. Über die Suchfunktion lassen sich diese Apps in den Stores schnell finden.
