Prepare a smaller video for Outlook while leaving room for message overhead.
Start with a target above, or open Full controls for a custom maximum and video settings.
Choose a local file. Review the selected maximum, any resolution cap and the advice before compressing.
Save the result and check its quality. Upload or attach it in your destination app yourself.
Microsoft’s Outlook guidance describes a 20 MB message limit for internet accounts and a 10 MB default for Exchange, including the attachment and message. Actual account and administrator settings vary. A video at exactly the message ceiling can still be too large once attached.
Email transport and other attachments consume space too. Choose a smaller target than the applicable total message limit. If it still fails, try a lower maximum or use an approved OneDrive sharing link with suitable permissions.
The cited limit is for the whole message, not a promise that a 20 MB raw video will fit. The suggested targets leave more room.
No. Product, account and organization settings can differ. Follow the limit shown by your account.
Yes. Full controls opens the normal size ruler, custom maximum, resolution, frame rate and audio settings. Switching controls keeps the selected file. Presets set a maximum; the actual result can be smaller.
No. Very small targets can be unsuitable or fail for a long or detailed clip. Read the advice, try lower resolution or choose a larger maximum. Compression does not trim video or bypass a destination’s content and account rules.
