Today, Mytour will guide you on how to send videos on Discord. However, the maximum file size limit is 8MB unless you upgrade to Nitro, which increases the limit to 50MB. To overcome this restriction, you can upload your video to another video-sharing platform, such as YouTube.
Steps
On Discord
Open Discord. The application is usually located in the Start menu or the Applications folder. You can also use the mobile app by accessing the home screen, app drawer, or search function.
- Log in if prompted.
Navigate to the conversation where you want to share the video. This could be a server chat or a private message.
Click or tap the plus (+) icon in the chat field. It is usually located to the left of the text input area. A file browser will open.

- Files (with a maximum size of 8MB, or 50MB if upgraded) will be uploaded to the chat. Most video formats like .mov and .mp4 are supported.
On YouTube
Log in to YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/. You can automatically upload videos up to 15 minutes long. For longer videos, you’ll need to verify your account. If your account isn’t verified, a notification will appear on the app or website prompting you to complete the verification process.
