WhatsApp allows you to send video messages (upto 60 secs) to your contacts and it is a very cool and personal way to get a message across to your friends, family, or colleagues. Sometimes, there are things that you feel, are best expressed face to face, but the receiver may be in a different timeline, or maybe you are not entirely comfortable doing it on a live video call. In such cases, video notes really come in handy.
If you are someone who wants to learn how to send video messages on WhatsApp, then this tutorial is for you.
Disclaimer – We will be using an iOS device for this tutorial, but the procedure is the same for Android devices as well.
How to send video message on WhatsApp
Step 1. Open the WhatsApp application on your smartphone.
Step 2. Open the chat with the person who will be receiving your video message.
Step 3. Now, tap on the ‘camera’ icon next to the text entry box. This will open up your camera interface.
Step 4. We want to send a video message, so tap on the ‘video’ option at the bottom of the interface.
Step 5. Tap on the ‘record’ button (the red button), and then start recording your video message.
Once you are satisfied with the message, just hit send, and your contact will receive your video message. If, for some reason, you are not happy with your recording, you can discard the recording and start over.
It is as simple as that. WhatsApp has been improving its feature set over the years, and in the coming months, we can definitely expect them to spice up the video message feature with some enhancements and quality of life additions as well. For now though, this is how you can easily send video messages on WhatsApp.
