Tips for Best Results

  • Pick the smallest tier anyone in the conversation might have — a 20MB clip plays for free users and Nitro alike.
  • At a fixed 20MB target, usable duration and visual quality depend on the source length, motion, and resolution, so preview the result before sharing.
  • Audio is budgeted separately from the video track; aggressive targets leave less bitrate available for motion and fine detail.
  • Many sites still quote the old 8MB or 10MB Discord limits — those are outdated. 20MB is the 2026 free-tier number.
