Comment Faire Pour Envoyer Video Par Whatsapp

Okay, so picture this: the other day, I tried sending my grandma a video of my cat, Mittens, doing that adorable thing where she chases her own tail. Simple, right? Famous last words. Turns out, Whatsapp decided to have a giggle at my expense and declared the video “too big.” Cue me, frantically googling solutions like a digital Indiana Jones searching for the Holy Grail. Felt like the end of the world, honestly. But hey, every cloud has a silver lining, right? Because it forced me to really dig into all the ways you can actually send videos on Whatsapp without losing your mind (or your precious cat videos).

So, if you've ever found yourself in a similar situation – staring blankly at your phone, wondering why Whatsapp is suddenly rejecting your masterpieces – fear not! I'm here to break down the mystery of sending videos on Whatsapp. Let’s dive in!

Compress It, Baby!

Let's be real, the most common culprit for video sending woes is size. Whatsapp, bless its heart, has a limit (around 16MB, FYI). So, that cinematic masterpiece you filmed in glorious 4K might need a little…trimming. Or, you know, a full-blown diet.

There are a few ways to tackle this:

• In-App Compression: Did you know Whatsapp actually has a built-in compressor? Sneaky, right? When you select the video to send, you’ll often get a prompt asking if you want to send it as a "file" or choose a "lower quality" option. Choose wisely, young Padawan! The lower quality option compresses the video, making it smaller.
• Third-Party Apps: The App Store and Google Play are teeming with video compression apps. Just search for “video compressor” and prepare to be overwhelmed. Some good ones are Video Compress, Panda Video Compressor, etc. These apps usually allow you to control the compression level, giving you a bit more finesse. Remember to check reviews and privacy policies before installing any app! You don’t want your private cat video suddenly starring in a Russian meme, do you?
• Online Compressors: If you prefer not to download anything, there are tons of online video compressors. Just upload your video, choose your settings, and download the compressed version. Kapwing and Clideo are some popular options.

Pro Tip: Before compressing, make a copy of your original video! Just in case the compression goes a little…wrong. We’ve all been there.

Trim the Fat (Literally)

Okay, so compression isn’t cutting it? Maybe your video is just…too long. Sometimes, the most effective solution is simply to cut out the unnecessary bits. No one needs to see five minutes of you adjusting the camera before Mittens finally graces us with her tail-chasing prowess. Get to the good stuff!

You can use the built-in video editor on your phone (most smartphones have pretty decent ones these days) or, again, turn to a third-party app. Many video editing apps are also video compressors, killing two birds with one digital stone.

Send it as a Document

This is a sneaky little trick that many people overlook. Whatsapp treats videos sent as "documents" differently. They don't automatically compress them (or at least, compress them less aggressively). This means you get to send a slightly higher quality video...within limits, of course. It’s not a magic bullet.

To send a video as a document:

• Tap the paperclip icon (attachment icon) in the chat.
• Choose "Document."
• Navigate to your video file.
• Send!

Word of Warning: Sending as a document can sometimes be a little clunky for the recipient. They might need to manually download the video instead of playing it directly in the chat. So, use this method strategically. Don’t send your grandma a 2GB file this way and expect her to thank you. She will probably be very confused.

The Cloud to the Rescue!

If all else fails, embrace the power of the cloud! Upload your video to a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud. Then, simply share the link in your Whatsapp chat.

This method is great for sending larger files without sacrificing quality. Plus, it keeps your phone's storage nice and tidy. Double win!

And there you have it! A comprehensive guide to navigating the sometimes-treacherous waters of sending videos on Whatsapp. Hopefully, armed with these tips and tricks, you'll never again be defeated by the dreaded “video too big” message. Go forth and share your cat videos (or whatever other digital treasures you wish to share)! The world is waiting.

P.S. If all else fails, just revert to sending carrier pigeons with tiny USB drives attached to their legs. Okay, maybe not. But hey, at least you’ll have a good story to tell.
