Recommended settings
8MB is tight: trim the clip or lower the resolution before compressing.
Speech and screen recordings survive 8MB far better than fast gameplay.
If quality collapses, try 10MB — many platform limits have moved up.
Questions
How long can an 8MB video be?
At watchable quality, usually around 30 to 90 seconds. Longer clips need lower resolution or a bigger target.
Why is 8MB such a common limit?
8MB was the classic Discord free upload cap, and many forums and form uploads adopted similar limits.
