How to Post Videos on Twitter

Even though Twitter is one of the platforms for sharing interesting videos, there are a few limitations that you should be aware of before posting your videos. Below is the list.

• The video should be no more than 512mbs in size, with a bitrate not exceeding 25 Mbps.
• For a Twitter mobile app, your videos must be in either MOV or MP4 format.
• If you’re using Twitter.com on a desktop, the videos must be in MP4 formats.
• The video must be at most 2 minutes and 20 seconds long.
• Your video’s resolution should fall between 32×32 and 1920×1200.
• The video’s width to height ratio (aspect ratio) must be equal to or lower than 2.39:1.
• Must have a frame rate of 40 fps or lower.

With these in mind, let’s jump on how to post a video after ensuring it meets the above parameters.

1. Post Videos on Twitter Using PC or Mac Computer

Before uploading that favorite video to the Twitter website, ensure it’s in MP4 format. Or else, you’ll get a prompt indicating that the video is in an unsupported format. If it’s in another form other than MP$, consider converting it to the supported format using a video converter software tool. Having done that, proceed to the following steps.

• Use your preferred browser to navigate to https://twitter.com and log in to your account.
• In your account homepage, click on the “Tweet” located in the top-right corner to compose a new tweet. Alternatively, you can click on the “What’s happening” option found on the upper part of the screen.
• In the new tweet field, select the gallery icon located below the tweet area. The option is located under the text field to the left.
• Go through your videos to find the video that you want to upload. When you get to the intended video, click on the “Open” or “Choose” option to get your video uploaded to Twitter.com.
• If the video you want is longer than 2 minutes and 20 seconds, you can edit it and click on the “Done” when through with your edits.
• Having uploaded your video, it’s now time to add anything that you want. It can be a brief description of your video or just a short comment on the video. Besides, your video does not impact on the number of your tweet characters.
• When you’re done adding a text to your video, hit on the “Tweet” option to get your video viral. And that’s it.

2. Post Videos on Twitter from Twitter Mobile App

There are three ways that you can use to get your video and post on Twitter from a Twitter mobile app.

• Record your video from the Twitter app, edit, and post the video. This works perfectly on Twitter for iPhone. But for android users, the Android version that you’re using should be at least 4.1. Below that, this feature might not work out for you.
• Import videos from the mobile device you’re using. This method works pretty well with the iPhone and iPad.
• Upload a video from your device to Twitter.com

Now, with that in mind, let’s jump to how you can post videos on Twitter from your Android or iOS device.
