How to Send Videos on Discord

Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
The whole point of Discord is to bring together communities of like-minded people to talk, share ideas and have fun together. And this isn’t just limited to chatting but sometimes you’re going to want to share content, including videos.
So, whether it’s a compilation of your best gaming moments that you’ve carefully edited together, a home movie that you want to share with friends, or just a funny clip that someone’s sent you that you want to pass on, here we’ll take you through how to send videos on Discord both on PC and mobile, and the likely issues you might face.

- Part 2: How to Send Videos on Discord Mobile
- Part 3: How to Send Long Videos on Discord That Are More Than 8MB
- Part 4: FAQs About Uploading Videos to Discord
Part 1: How to Send Videos on Discord PC
It’s actually pretty simple to send videos on Discord when using a PC, providing they aren’t too large a file size.
Firstly, you just need to navigate to the channel or private message where you want to send the video. Just find the right option on the list of servers you’re a member of, or head to your message inbox to find the user you want to send it to privately.
Once you’re in the right place, click on the plus (+) icon that you’ll find to the left of the chatbox at the bottom of the screen where you’d normally type your message.
You’ll then just need to find the file on your computer, and double click on it. It’ll then bring up a pop-up for the video where you can add a comment, which will sit above the video (ideal if you need to give context on why you’re sharing it). You can also mark it as a spoiler – useful if you’re sharing a gaming tip but you don’t want to spoil the story for anyone who’s not reached that point yet.
From there, it’s as simple as clicking the upload button. Once it’s ready, the video will be in the chat window for anyone in the server to watch, or for your friend if you’ve sent it privately. And if they want to download it, they’ll just need to click the download button (a downward-facing arrow) at the top right of the video.
It’s worth noting that, while Discord will play most video formats, it can’t manage everything. If you upload a format that Discord isn’t compatible with, then it won’t show a video player – instead, the file will just be uploaded. Other people can still download it to watch on their own devices.
Also, there’s a strict file limit of 8MB. This isn’t huge at all – while there’s no definitive file size for video (as it depends on file type, resolution, compression, etc) it’s unlikely to be more than 60 seconds of footage, and could just be a few seconds. If the video you want to upload is more than 8MB, carry on reading below to find out how.
Part 2: How to Send Videos on Discord Mobile
The process to send video on Discord Mobile is pretty similar both with iOS and Android, but with just a few minor tweaks.
Firstly, you still need to navigate to either the server or inbox where you want to share the video. You can then click the ‘Photo Selector’ button directly to the left of the chatbox.
This will open your phone’s gallery, but it’ll only be searching for photos. You instead want the File Selector, which will be the third icon along – it looks like a text document with a folded-over corner.
Click this and it’ll give you the option to directly upload a video from your phone’s Downloads folder. To send a video that’s stored elsewhere, click on the Expand arrow at the top left of the menu. This will send you to your phone’s file navigation system where you can find the video you want.
Once you’ve selected the video, just hit the blue Send icon to send your video to the chat. Again you can add a message as a caption, but this time it’ll just be in the normal message box rather than a dedicated comment box before you hit upload.
Part 3: How to Send Long Videos on Discord That Are More Than 8MB
So as we’ve said above, there is a file size limit when you’re using a free Discord account of just 8MB, which isn’t much at all. There are a few ways around this, so take your pick from the one that sounds best for you.
1. Update to Discord Nitro to Upload 100MB
The first option is possibly the simplest but it’s definitely not the cheapest, and that’s to pay for an upgrade to Discord Nitro. The paid version of Discord has a number of benefits, one of which is the increased file upload size of 100MB. It costs $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year, so if you’re likely to be regularly uploading videos that are lower than this limit, it might make sense.
2. Cut Unwanted Clips/Compress Video with Filmora Video Editor
The second choice would be to take your video and cut it into pieces, sending them one at a time. This might sound time-consuming but with Filmora’s Instant Cutter Tool, it’s really simple.
All you need to do is open a video in Filmora by clicking the arrow next to Import and then choosing ‘Import with Instant Cutter Tool’.
This will open the Instant Cutter window where you can click Open File to add your video. From here you can trim your files and export them in multiple sections. There are different ways that you can do this, and while each is a simple process, there are still a few steps to follow.
For more detail, check out this post for a step-by-step guide on the different ways you can trim a video in Filmora.
You can also try to compress your video size, which may let you keep the whole video at the expense of some of the quality. Again, using Filmora, this is easy. But also again, there are different ways to go about it.
You could literally crop the video in order to trim some of the data, as the reduced viewing screen won’t be as big a file. You can also reduce the resolution, or convert your video to a format that uses fewer data. You’ll need to test it though, as converting to some video formats might result in blurry footage.
There are advanced settings you can tinker with too, such as lowering the frame rate or the bit rate. Again, rather than go through all of those options in an epic article here, it’s easier to head to a post dedicated to these steps about compress videos with Filmora .
3. Upload to YouTube/Vimeo/Google Drive/Dropbox
The final option is to upload your video to an online player or storage site, and link to it, rather than having Discord host the file. YouTube and Vimeo are the obvious options, but Streamable is another popular choice too with a free membership. YouTube’s maximum video uploads are 128GB, which is huge, while other sites like Streamable cap free accounts to 500MB per video.
So, if you want to upload massive files, you’ll need to decide whether to choose YouTube or pay for an upgraded membership elsewhere. Wherever you host your video, once it’s online just grab the link and paste it into Discord to share your content.
The only drawback to this option is that it stops other users from being able to download the video directly, and you may need to look at a file sharing alternative such as Dropbox if you want to send the actual file.
FAQs About Uploading Videos to Discord
Which Kind of Video Formats Can I Upload to Discord?
You can send any filetype to another user on Discord, so that they can download it and watch it on their own device. But if you want to upload a video so that Discord embeds it, and makes it playable within the chat, you’re limited to only mp4 and WebM filetypes.
You can also use MOV files, but not everyone will be able to play them, and FLAC files are supported on desktop only but not on mobile.
How Can I Upload Saved Videos to Discord?
If you find a video on Discord that you want to share on a different server or in a private DM, you can use the download icon to save it locally. Then, follow the steps above to upload the video to the server or DM chat window where you want to share it.

Apr 26, 2024• Proven solutions
Discord is one of the fastest-growing instant communication platforms. It started as just a messaging and voice chat app for gamers but today it has expanded into every PC. From gaming to just general chatting, it is used by everyone. Discord also provides bots and features to expand the user’s experience. One of the types of bots that are available on Discord servers is music bots.

Part 1: What is Discord Music Bot?
Discord allows users to create servers where they can then invite their friends or people who have the same interest, or people playing the same game. Discord servers are like a big group chat but with many more features. Music Bots allow users to listen to music while they play games or just chat with their friends. Discord Bots are created like a virtual Discord user. To listen to music you have to join a voice channel and then run a command specific to that bot to make it join the voice channel and start playing music.
Discord music bots provide a way for multiple members of a server to listen to the same music at the same time. Discord music bots can find songs on YouTube, Spotify, or other platforms and play them on a Discord voice channel.

9. Mantaro
A personal favorite that I have on my server is Mantaro. It, like all the bots mentioned before, provides great quality music streaming from all major sources.
This bot is the go-to for an anime lover or an anime discord server. It comes with everything you need to make it fun, lively, and interactive even when people aren’t playing games and just chatting.
Pros

Mantaro makes your server into more of a second life for you.
10. ErisBot
ErisBot is a strong and very simple-to-use music bot.
The best feature about ErisBot that separates it from the rest is that it allows you to create your very own custom prefixes for the commands.
One thing I noticed is that sometimes instead of playing audio from the YouTube link, it starts playing the video. Maybe it mixes up the commands or whatever. This is something you’ll have to keep in mind while using Eris Bot.

Part 3: How to Add a Music Bot to Discord?
Adding a music bot to your server is very simple and only takes one click. Just go to the Website of whatever Music Bot you wish to add. Then all you need to do is click on the “Add to Discord” Button.
This will then take you to a page where it will ask for a server to enter and also list other things it’ll gain access to.
Just choose the server you wish to add the bot to from the drop-down menu and click continue.
After that, you’ll have to prove your humanity and that’s all. The bot has now been added to your selected server. You can find it in the members’ area to the right. If there is no member area then just click the Members tab at the top right corner of the screen to view all the members on the server.
Part 4: How to Play Music on Discord?
Playing music on discord using a bot is as easy as pie. All you have to do is go to the website of your specific bot and look up the commands. In this example, we would be using Groovy Bot.
Another way to check commands is through your discord server. Type –help for Groovy and similarly for every other bot ([specified prefix]help). It will then state how you can check the commands for that bot.
Then in your Discord server after joining a voice channel, the type that commands with a link to a piece of music or the name (-play i dont think i love u anymore) if your bot allows that and the bot will join the voice channel and start streaming music.
You can also loop the song currently playing by typing the –loop track command. And loop your whole queue using –loop queue. You can turn the loop off by –loop off.
If you want to add another song to a queue, just use the same play command and Groovy will add that song next in the list. You can view your queue using the –queue command.
In the end no matter what bot you choose, it doesn’t matter as long as you have fun and love the features it provides. There are a lot more bots out there but in my opinion, these are the best, most famous, and most trustworthy providing the best music playback quality.
Bonus: How to Create Videos for Discord in Minutes?

7. BMO
This Music bot was inspired by the Adventure-Time Character BMO. This music bot is fun to use and provides the functionality of a high level of bot.
It is the best bot, in my opinion, to liven up your server especially if it has a general chat room.
Pros
- Smooth lag-free High-Quality Music.
- Small chat games to make a user’s time on your server more fun.
- NSFW commands for those channels as well.
- The bot is also DMCA protected which means it’s not violating any copyright laws.
8. 24/7
24/7 is another one of my favorite free music bots. It not only provides high-quality music streaming from major websites like YouTube, Spotify, and mixer. But it also allows streaming from any radio station around the world.
24/7 was created by Deluxe to provide non-stop music for its users. It has a small number of commands to keep it concise and to the point.
- mb play [link to internet radio stream]
- mb pause *
- mb resume *
- mb np
- mb volume [volume percentage] *
- mb help
[] = optional parameter
* = premium only commands
The premium version can be bought for $2.47 which along with the commands unlocks these features:
Premium features of 24/7
- YouTube queue, including pause, resume, skip, add, remove, export, import, etc.
- YouTube playlist support
- control the volume, server-wide
But if you like the bot you can get the $7.24 version which provides all the above-mentioned benefits and a message on your server stating that you donated to the creators of this bot.
Pros
The Best thing about 24/7 is that it can stream any live event from Youtube as well. So, you can listen to a talk show, a podcast, or any other live event while playing your favorite games.
9. Mantaro
A personal favorite that I have on my server is Mantaro. It, like all the bots mentioned before, provides great quality music streaming from all major sources.
This bot is the go-to for an anime lover or an anime discord server. It comes with everything you need to make it fun, lively, and interactive even when people aren’t playing games and just chatting.
Pros
- Mantaro has so many features. From a currency system to mining activities, gifts, XP, chopping, fishing, pets, and everything.
- Birthday roles and announcements.
- Games (such as trivia, guess the character, guess the number, and guess the Pokémon remember that on the TV back then?)
- Anime and Character lookup command. And don’t forget the NSFW commands for lewd anime pics.
- It also provides RP commands for all the RP lovers out there.
Mantaro makes your server into more of a second life for you.
10. ErisBot
ErisBot is a strong and very simple-to-use music bot.
The best feature about ErisBot that separates it from the rest is that it allows you to create your very own custom prefixes for the commands.
One thing I noticed is that sometimes instead of playing audio from the YouTube link, it starts playing the video. Maybe it mixes up the commands or whatever. This is something you’ll have to keep in mind while using Eris Bot.

Part 3: How to Add a Music Bot to Discord?
Adding a music bot to your server is very simple and only takes one click. Just go to the Website of whatever Music Bot you wish to add. Then all you need to do is click on the “Add to Discord” Button.
This will then take you to a page where it will ask for a server to enter and also list other things it’ll gain access to.
Just choose the server you wish to add the bot to from the drop-down menu and click continue.
After that, you’ll have to prove your humanity and that’s all. The bot has now been added to your selected server. You can find it in the members’ area to the right. If there is no member area then just click the Members tab at the top right corner of the screen to view all the members on the server.
Part 4: How to Play Music on Discord?
Playing music on discord using a bot is as easy as pie. All you have to do is go to the website of your specific bot and look up the commands. In this example, we would be using Groovy Bot.
Another way to check commands is through your discord server. Type –help for Groovy and similarly for every other bot ([specified prefix]help). It will then state how you can check the commands for that bot.
Then in your Discord server after joining a voice channel, the type that commands with a link to a piece of music or the name (-play i dont think i love u anymore) if your bot allows that and the bot will join the voice channel and start streaming music.
You can also loop the song currently playing by typing the –loop track command. And loop your whole queue using –loop queue. You can turn the loop off by –loop off.
If you want to add another song to a queue, just use the same play command and Groovy will add that song next in the list. You can view your queue using the –queue command.
In the end no matter what bot you choose, it doesn’t matter as long as you have fun and love the features it provides. There are a lot more bots out there but in my opinion, these are the best, most famous, and most trustworthy providing the best music playback quality.
Bonus: How to Create Videos for Discord in Minutes?
Since it is not allowed to upload files of more than 8MB on Discord, you need an perfect video tool for making videos in less size, it is better for you to use Filmore Discord video editor if you want to share original music and videos on Discord in compressed size. Filmora owns popular video effects and filters to make your video look professional, plus, it possesses a huge library that offers multiple music tracks for you to use.

Discord is one of the fastest-growing instant communication platforms. It started as just a messaging and voice chat app for gamers but today it has expanded into every PC. From gaming to just general chatting, it is used by everyone. Discord also provides bots and features to expand the user’s experience.

Part 1: What is Discord Music Bot?
Discord allows users to create servers where they can then invite their friends or people who have the same interest, or people playing the same game. Discord servers are like a big group chat but with many more features. Music Bots allow users to listen to music while they play games or just chat with their friends. Discord Bots are created like a virtual Discord user. To listen to music you have to join a voice channel and then run a command specific to that bot to make it join the voice channel and start playing music.
Discord music bots provide a way for multiple members of a server to listen to the same music at the same time. Discord music bots can find songs on YouTube, Spotify, or other platforms and play them on a Discord voice channel.

Pros
