How to send a video on Discord without Nitro
Discord caps uploads at 10 MB unless you subscribe to Nitro. Compress the clip here to your plan’s limit, then drag it into any channel or DM. MP4 with H.264 plays inline on desktop, web, and mobile.
- What happens
- The video is re-encoded to an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, the most widely playable combination. Bitrate and resolution are chosen from the size budget, and the finished file is measured before you can download it.
- Good to know
- Discord sets limits by account and server boost level, and it has changed them before. Short clips keep the most detail at 10 MB. For longer videos, trim first or choose a higher limit if you have one.
