On a computer (free)
- Download HandBrake from handbrake.fr (free, for Windows and Mac).
- Open it and drag your video in.
- Under "Preset" choose "Fast 1080p30" (or "Fast 720p30" if it is still too big).
- Press "Start Encode" and upload the new file.
How to shrink a video for your screen
Each video can be up to 95 MB. A well-compressed 1-minute Full HD video weighs 30 to 60 MB and looks just as sharp on the TV.
On your phone
- Install a video compressor app (search "compress video" in the app store).
- Choose 1080p or 720p quality.
- Save the result and upload it from Photos and videos.
The ideal video for a screen
- MP4 format (H.264).
- 1080p for large TVs, 720p is enough for small ones.
- Short: 10 to 60 seconds work best in a shop.
- No sound needed: the screen plays it muted.
