Whatsapp, Facebook e Instagram are currently the most popular social network apps but all over the world. Their popularity is increasing especially among young people and this means that even in the near future their popularity will remain intact.
Through these applications people love to share their experiences (both positive and negative) and to better express all this, multimedia files such as video, audio and image files. Photos and images are those files that are easier to share also thanks to their limited size, but lately there is also an increase in the sharing of video files.
I file video which are shared obviously are not long-running movies, but they are video clips of 2 3-minute about and / or movies recorded with your smartphone / tablet but always limited to a few minutes to avoid sending a file that is too heavy.
If you have a video file in your hands that you would like to share with your friends, colleagues or relatives via Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram, the first thing to do is to understand if it is a file that is not too heavy. Usually a "shareable" file should not exceed 10-20MBBesides this weight, in fact, those who do not have a good internet connection may have difficulty downloading the entire file.

For Instagram, at the moment for video files there is an imposed limit expressed in seconds:
… .Movies in the main feed can be up to 60 seconds in total….
