Why it helps
Smaller videos upload faster and are less likely to fail during sending.
WhatsApp-friendly settings
Choose 720p for most chats. Lower the bitrate step by step until the preview looks clean and the estimated size fits your goal—short clips can still be large if the bitrate is high.
Keep details clear
Check fast motion and text overlays. If you notice blocky areas or smeared edges, nudge the bitrate up a bit before exporting.
