And your friend has to download the video every time?
But the issue is quite easy to solve.
Read this post until you do so.
Why Does Discord Always Send My Video as Some Sort of File?
Discord also has a compress and converter mechanism that reduces the size and quality of your media file.
So you have to upload the supporting video files to get the video preview.
Also, you must enable theImage & Video Previewoption to play the video in Discord.
Fulfill these requirements to send videos on Discord without it being a file:
1.
Use Supported Video Formats
Discord can only identify the mp4 or WebM video files withAAC, vp9,orH264codec.
Once, I uploaded an mp4 video from Reddit to my Discord server.
But Discord didnt recognize that file as a video.
And you might use the VLC media player to do so.
In that case, you mustbypass the file size limit in Discord.
you’ve got the option to enable it from any gear (both phone and PC).
After completing the steps, you could upload and play any supported video file in Discord.
But if that uploadedvideo doesnt play on Discordfollow this guide to fix it.
So you should also check them when Discord sends your videos as files.
On the otherhand, Twitter is a great way to know Discords server status and any ongoing issues.
So, check the Discord Twitter account to see if theres an issue on Discord.
FAQs
Do videos lose quality over Discord?
Yes, the general Discord app supports 720p, and Discord Nitro supports 1080p video resolution.
If you upload over this resolution range, your video will lose quality.
Why cant I send an MP4 video on Discord?
You cant send the MP4 video because either the video file is oversized or has an unsupported codec.
Discord only supports AAC, vp9, or H264 codec.
Without these codecs, Discord will send the video as a normal document file.
Does Discord compress MP4?
No, the Discord app only compressesimage files over 8 MB, not video files.
However, if you upload videos over 720p resolution (on free Discord) it will lower the quality.
you could simply convert your video file to solve this issue.
Hopefully your problem is gone by now.
