When uploading a video to a Shoutout in Bob, you may see an error stating that the file exceeds the maximum allowed size of 200MB.

 

Why does this happen?

Videos uploaded directly to Shoutouts have a 200MB file size limit. This platform restriction cannot currently be increased or bypassed.

 

How can I share a larger video?

You can host the video on an external platform, such as YouTube or Vimeo, and share its link in your Shoutout:

  1. Upload the video to your chosen platform.
  2. Make sure the video’s sharing settings allow your intended audience to view it.
  3. Copy the video link and paste it into your Shoutout.
  4. Publish your Shoutout.

Your colleagues can then follow the link to watch the video.
