At Outschool, we have a 100MB limit for any video uploaded to our site by users. The most common instances of uploaded videos are:
Application "intro" videos
Teacher profile videos
Class listing videos
Attachments on the classroom page
With most modern recording devices ability to record in 4k/Ultra HD, often times these videos are over the 100MB limit when initially recorded. Because of this, you may experience some difficulty uploading videos to Outschool. While sometimes there are other issues with video uploading, we encourage you to avoid issue by reducing the size of your video by compressing it.
We recommend using Handbrake for resizing, a free, light-weight app that can be installed on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
