Converting a Video for Your Platform

Staffbase recommends following a few guidelines in order to make sure that videos play quickly and in good quality. As a general rule, try to keep the file size as small as possible to avoid long waiting times while both uploading and playing them. The maximum file size for videos is 4GB.

Video streaming experience may vary depending on internet connection strength. We recommend using files with 720p (1220 x 720px) resolution, as this gives a balance between good video quality and reasonable size. You can also use higher-resolution files, but this might increase data usage and impact the video streaming experience.  Learn more about media formats that Staffbase supports.

For best results, record videos directly using the settings below or convert them using a video converter, such as Handbrake.
