Can mp4 video be sent as an e mail attachment

Yes, MP4 videos can be sent as an email attachment, but there are some limitations and considerations to keep in mind:

  1. File size: Most email providers have file size limits for attachments, typically ranging from 10MB to 25MB. MP4 videos can be quite large, so you may need to compress them to reduce their size. You can use video compression software or online tools to reduce the file size.
  2. Email client compatibility: Not all email clients support playing MP4 videos directly. Some older email clients or those with limited multimedia support may not be able to play the video. You can consider converting the video to a more widely supported format, such as AVI or MOV, if you need to ensure compatibility.
  3. Email provider restrictions: Some email providers, like Gmail, have specific restrictions on sending large files, including videos. You may need to use a third-party file sharing service or a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox to share large files.
  4. Recipient's email client and device: The recipient's email client and device also play a role in whether they can play the video attachment. For example, if the recipient uses a mobile device with a limited data plan, they may not be able to download and play a large video file.

To increase the chances of successfully sending an MP4 video as an email attachment:

  1. Compress the video file to reduce its size.
  2. Use a widely supported video format, such as MP4, AVI, or MOV.
  3. Check the recipient's email client and device compatibility before sending.
  4. Consider using a file sharing service or cloud storage service to share large files.

Here are some general guidelines for sending MP4 videos as email attachments:

Remember to always check with your email provider and the recipient's email client and device to ensure that the video attachment can be successfully sent and played.
