How do you send very large videos on WhatsApp?

[Fidelia]

It seems like WhatsApp doesn't allow people to send videos that are more than 30MB from one user to another.

For those that might need to send very large files through WhatsApp, what is the way to send very large videos on WhatsApp!

I think WhatsApp's 30MB limit for sending videos can be a problem for those who need to share large files, especially high-quality or content-heavy videos. One option many people use is to compress or reduce the video quality to keep it below the limit, but this can affect the visual quality. A more effective alternative is to upload the videos to cloud platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive and then share the link via WhatsApp. This way, there's no size limit, and the recipient can download the video in its original quality. Personally, I think this second option is the most practical and secure, as it also allows you to share files of any size without worrying about the app's restrictions. Furthermore, it's more convenient for large files and prevents the transmission from failing due to the size limit.

If you try sending it the videos as documents, you should be able to send larger files or you can simply share the link.

That's the same trick that I use to send files that are as large as 2gb to my WhatsApp contacts. But for sending very large files like that, Telegram is the best.
