Mobile - How to Send Large Video Files on Discord?

To bypass discord file size limit on a mobile phone, you can first upload your videos to the video hosting platforms with larger file size limits like YouTube, Google Drive or Dropbox. Then you can share the large/long videos with your friends on Discord by sending them a shareable link generated by the video hosting services.

To do so, we suggest you download and install the corresponding apps of the services since uploading videos from your mobile phone to a mobile webpage can be tedious and painful.

To demonstrate, I’ll use YouTube app to send a large screen recording on my phone to a friend on Discord.

Step 2. Hit the video icon from the upper-right side of the interface, allow access to your photos, if prompted. Then choose from your phone the video that you want to share to upload.

Step 3. There you can trim out the unwanted frames to shorten the video. Then hit Upload from the upper-right side.

Step 4. Wait for your video to upload. When it’s done, hit on the triple dots button on the right side of its information bar, and hit Share.
