Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Google My Business video size limit and how to upload videos to your profile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Video Size Limits of Google My Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike YouTube and other video platforms, Google My Business has very specific and limited video sizes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/6103862#video-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to the Google My Business Help Center<\/a>, acceptable video sizes are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Duration: Up to 30 seconds long<\/li><li>File size: Up to 75 MB<\/li><li>Resolution: 720p or higher<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the years, I\u2019ve seen businesses post videos that are longer than 30 seconds \u2013 so it seems like some of these parameters are a little flexible. This is most likely due to video compression which can get longer videos underneath Google My Business\u2019s file size limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compressing Videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a video file that\u2019s larger than 75 MB, you can try compressing this video to shrink down the file size. There are many options online for video compression, many of which are free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the program you used to edit your video, it may also be possible to compress your video file on your computer rather than using a third party software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beware, though: compressing video files can reduce their quality too much. It may be better to split one long video file into multiple smaller ones. That way, you can preserve your video quality without sacrificing the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uploading a Video to Google My Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While I do have a guide on how to add videos to Google My Business, I like to keep things easy for everyone living and thriving in my domain.
