I SHARED A MOVIE VIA MESSAGES AND SAW GREEN TEXT IS THIS A PROBLEM?

You can share a Timebox movie (we don't know the size limit) with other people who also use Messages. However, if you want to share a movie with a person who does not use Messages (e.g., Android user), the name or phone number of the user will be displayed in green text instead of blue text and the size of the movie may be limited.

WHY WAS MY MOVIE NOT RECEIVED BY THE EMAIL RECIPIENT? 

Sometimes a movie is not delivered by email because it is too large. Check the Sent box in Mail for the status. As an alternative you can try enabling MailDrop when sending or sharing via Messages or Vimeo.

HOW LARGE (MB) CAN A MOVIE BE FOR SHARING? 

Movies should be under 25 MB to be handled by most email providers. MailDrop, Messages or Vimeo are other choices for sharing large Timebox movies. Also:

  • Twitter - maximum video file size is 512MB

  • YouTube - maximum files size 256GB or 12 hours

  • Instagram - maximum file size for videos that are 10 minutes or less is 650MB
