WhatsApp: This video cannot be sent – the reasons
If you receive the message “This video cannot be sent” when sending a video on WhatsApp, there are several reasons for this.
- Check the file size: Check the file size of the video you want to send. WhatsApp has a maximum file size limit for sending videos, usually 16 MB for Android and 12 MB for iOS. Make sure your video is within these limits
- Check your internet connection: Make sure you have a stable and fast internet connection when trying to send a video via WhatsApp. A poor or slow connection will result in the video not being uploaded successfully.
- Storage space on the device: Check the available storage space on your device. If it does not have enough memory to save and send the video, the action will fail.
Other reasons for the problem message
If the message continues to appear on WhatsApp, there are also a number of other reasons for this.
- Format of the video: Make sure the video is in WhatsApp’s supported format, such as MP4 or MOV. WhatsApp supports certain video formats. Therefore, an incompatible format cannot be sent successfully
- Restarting the app or device: Sometimes problems can be solved by restarting the WhatsApp app or device. Try closing and restarting the app or restarting your device.
- Updating WhatsApp: Make sure your WhatsApp version is up to date. There may be a known issue in older versions that has been fixed by an update.
