Why Videos Are a Big Deal on Facebook
When you’re scrolling through your Facebook feed, what makes you stop and watch? For most people, it’s videos. They’re more dynamic than photos, and they can tell a story, share an experience, or just make someone smile.
But uploading videos isn’t always smooth sailing. You might run into issues like poor video quality, the wrong size, or background noise ruining the audio. The good news is, a few simple tips can make a huge difference:
- Quality matters: Always try to film and upload in the highest resolution possible.
- Aspect ratio: Use 16:9 for horizontal videos and 9:16 for vertical ones so they fit the screen nicely.
- Frame rate: Stick to 30 frames per second for smooth playback.
- Clear audio: Good sound is just as important as good video. Try to reduce background noise.
- Length: Even though Facebook allows long videos (up to 240 minutes!), shorter videos often perform better.
- Format: MP4 or MOV files work best.
Now, let’s dive into how to upload a high-quality video from your computer.
How to Upload High-Quality Video on Facebook from a Computer
Uploading videos from your computer is super simple. Just follow these steps:

How to Post Videos on Facebook Using a Mobile Device
Lots of people use their phones to upload videos because it’s quick and convenient. There are two main ways to do it: uploading a pre-recorded video or going live.
Uploading Pre-Recorded Videos from Your Phone
