GitHub video specs and requirements
Where code lives. Short videos in READMEs, issues and pull requests show a change at a glance.
What it is
GitHub lets you drag a video into a README, issue or pull request, and it plays inline. It is a clear way to show a new feature or reproduce a bug.
What it expects from a video
- Uploaded videos can be up to 10 MB.

Screen recordings, piece of cake.
Record the demo once. Let Recordcake handle the formats.
