Things are changing so quickly. Today I was trying to upload a large video file since it was HD, it was over a 1GB in size. But before spending a couple minutes waiting for the upload to potentially fail, I thought I’d look up the current requirements as of April 2020. Here they are as a handy guide all in one place:
Facebook Video Specs:
- Facebook supports various video file formats. MP4 format is the default standard.
- The resolution = 1080p or less.
