Videos that are uploaded for pre-recorded webinars are limited to 2GB. If a video file exceeds this limit you can make the file size of your video smaller.
A third-party video converter such as HandBrake (a free open-source software) can be used to compress the file without compromising quality.
Compress video files using HandBrake
Step 1: Download HandBrake and choose the version for your OS from https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php.
Step 2: Open HandBrake from your applications.
Step 3: Select the file you want to compress. A file browser window should open automatically to select your video file. You can drag and drop the file or you can click File - Open a Single Video File to select a file from your computer's drive.
Step 4: Choose your video settings. You may change the video format (*.webm,*.mov, or *.mp4), presets (default preset is Fast 1080p 30), dimensions, and other video settings to your preference.
Step 5: In Save As, you can name the file and select the folder to which the compressed file will be saved by clicking Browse.
Step 6: Click Start Encode.
The file will load automatically for a few minutes depending on the length of the file. On the lower portion of the app, you’ll be able to see the status of your conversion when it is finished.
