Sharing video files on low bandwidth connections

Suggestions for sharing video files on low bandwidth connections on iOS (eg iPhone) and Android (eg Samsung) devices


You may need to share a video file with other participants in your call. Recorded videos can be very large in size and sending them or uploading them to the Internet can be a time-consuming process. To share large video files, especially in low bandwidth conditions, the video file needs to be compressed. This is especially true if you are using a device such as a phone or iPad to participate in a video call. Compression will maker your file size smaller but can affect the video quality so check your video once you have compressed it. 

Select your device below to see more information about how to compress your videos if required.

Video compression on iOS devices

Here are a couple of examples of free iPhone/iPad apps for compressing videos:

Video Compress – Shrink Vids

The app lets you resize one or more videos at the same time and choose the resolution of the output video. This compresses the file so it is smaller in size and easier to share and upload.

  • Download the Video Compress – Shrink Vids app from the AppStore.
  • Launch the App and click the +icon to import the video you want compress.
  • Grant the app permission to access the Photos app and navigate to the folder where the video/s you want to compress are stored.
  • After selecting the video/s, tap on the Choose Preset button and select one of the available presets. Adjust the bitrate (the higher the bitrate the larger the file) and preview how the videos look before and after compression.
  • Tap the Continue button and select the destination album to save the compressed video/s.

Video Compressor-shrink Videos:

  • Select a video you want to compress by tapping on it.
  • Choose a preset resolution to compress your video clip to.
  • You can change the Bitrate (Kbps or Mbps per second) before tapping on the  Compression button.
  • After the video compression process is over you can organise the compressed videos.
