How to Upload & Share Video on Microsoft Teams Windows 11?
Have you used Microsoft Teams for work or social contacts? In this article, we will teach you how to share pre-recorded videos on Microsoft Teams on Windows 11.
Microsoft Teams will get huge improvements in Windows 11, letting you chat with others on a variety of devices, like Windows 11/10 PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, iPad, and Chromebook. Considering you may have Microsoft Teams video upload requirement, this guide is mainly focusing on teaching how to upload video to Teams and share with others manually.
[Notice] Microsoft Teams Video Upload Limit & Supported Formats
- Video upload size: up to 250GB.
- Supported video formats: 2GP, 3G2, 3GP, 3GPP, ASF, AVI, BMP, HEVC, M2TS, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP4, MP4V, MTS, TS, WAV, WEBM, WMA, WMV.
Though most of the common videos are allowed to upload to Teams, exceptions including FLV, SWF and DVD discs need to be converted before uploading. Besides, based on my experience, even a MBs 1080p video needs a very long time to upload, so compressing the large sized video like a 4K file is necessary. If needed, Winxvideo AI may help convert the video format and downsize the large file.
