I am trying to upload a short MP4 that I made for an Instagram post. The file size is only 47kb, but CC is giving me an error message that I cannot upload anything over 5mb. My MP4 is significantly less than this 5mb restriction... does this mean that I cannot upload animated images or videos to my social media with this tool?

Hello @GinaJ193 ,

 

Since video files can't be uploaded to the library, the only workaround for an Insta video post would be to create it directly through the platform.

Hello @TeresaCR00 ,

 

Videos are unavailable to upload into the Library, nor can they be embedded into emails at this time.
