Hello. This is Shiho.
Today, I am going to talk about “How to send overloaded videos on LINE”

Capacity and length of videos you can send on LINE
What about the capacity and length of videos you can send on LINE?
It is said that 300MB which is around 1.5 minutes is the limitation.
I examined a few cases with my Android mobile.
The results are following.
○3 minutes video
× 4 minutes video
Of course the results depend on the video quality on your mobile.
If the video is overloaded, you need to edit and make it shorter.
If you can edit and make it shorter, that is fine. However, if you do not want to cut any moments, here is the method to send overloaded videos on LINE.
