Discord video specs and requirements
Chat app for communities. Many games and dev tools run their community server here.
What it is
Discord servers are where many products talk to their users: announcements, feedback channels and support. Videos posted in a channel play inline.
What it expects from a video
- Free accounts can upload files up to 10 MB. This is the tightest limit in the whole preset list, so the free preset uses 720p at a low bitrate.
- Nitro raises the limit to 500 MB (Nitro Basic is 50 MB).
