03/02/2024, 2:03 AMHello, Iām try to deliver a video based course through WhatsApp but I find that when I upload vertical videos(~40 seconds long) i get various error messages such as ārequest failed with status code 400ā. Only 16:9 videos seem to upload for me.
Additionally, when I test the bot on WhatsApp, I am not receiving all the videos(the file size is 6.6mb).
Please help!

03/04/2024, 3:36 AMIām still trying to figure this out but my best guess is that itās related to the file size. Metaās documentation says 16MB is the maximum allowed size of a video file after compression and encryptionā¦ but the video files Iām sending are far smaller

03/04/2024, 4:49 AMUpdate: I figured out that if I download the video from Canva and upload it to Bot Press, it will send through to WhatsApp. But when I was exporting it from CapCut, It would not send from but BotPress to WhatsApp. Both file types seem to be the same, does anyone have an idea what the difference might be?

03/07/2024, 3:42 AMHey @bumpy-butcher-41910, can you help me out on this by asking the engineers? Videos less than 10Mb work on the emulator but not WhatsApp. To make them work on WhatsApp, the only work around Iāve found is to upload the video to Canva and then download it again. Iād really appreciate some help figuring out the root cause of the issue. Thanks in advance.

16MB generally means a video from 90 seconds to 3 minutes based on its specific resolution, frame rate, and bitrate. While for WhatsApp status, your video must be within 30 seconds.

03/07/2024, 8:38 AMIf you go to the dashboard of your bot then you should be able to see Logs right beside the chat, which is to the right side of the integrations page
