In our days, communication by electronic means is very common, and for this many applications have been created, most used worldwide, it's whatsapp. And one way to express what we feel through the messaging application is to send us videos, so we want to send it to be of quality and of good resolution.
Decidedly, this sometimes represents a challenge, sometimes we must look for solutions in applications or what content we can send.
But every now and then we don't find ourselves in a dilemma of how to do it, because we tried to send it and it tells us that the the video format we have is not supported and that generates frustration. But so that this does not happen to you, We bring you some suggestions on how to do it and what types of video formats are supported.
How to send and receive a video and what formats are supported
By having time using the WhatsApp messaging app Surely we already know the usual way to do it, but let's review to refresh our memory. To send a video we open the app and look for the contact we want to send to, we click on the camera icon, we do the recording and the only thing left is to press the send button so that the other person can enjoy it.
We also have the easiest way to do it, and if we already have the video on our mobile, We look for the camera icon that is on the right side of the text box of our mobile, we make a clip, open the gallery, we look for the video of our preference, we choose it and send it, in that way we will share a moment of joy. But if we want to send the video from a social network like Facebook, too easy.
But before doing so we have a question about what type of format is compatible with our WhatsApp messaging application, here are some formats: MP4, AVI, 3GP, MKV.
It is also good to pay attention the length of the video, it should not be more than three minutes and with a size of 16MB. Another thing to pay attention to are the audio and video codecs, for audio codecs are recommended: ACC about AC3, for video codecs: H.264 o MPEG-4.
One last recommendation to send videos by WhatsApp it is better to use the mp4 format since this is more achievable and it is to which we can convert all those videos that are not compatible. In the next chapter I will tell you which apps are good for compressing videos and that they do not lose as much quality when sending.
