Discord's free plan caps uploads at 10 MB, small enough that most gameplay clips and screen recordings bounce. This page targets 10 MB and lowers the resolution to 720p, the combination that keeps short clips sharp. Drop the clip, compress, and drag the MP4 straight into the chat.
When to use this
Typical Discord uses: sharing a 30-second gameplay highlight from OBS or ShadowPlay, posting a screen recording of a bug in a dev server, dropping a reaction clip or meme, or sending a short voice-and-video message to a friend without Nitro.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long can a 10 MB Discord video be?
About 30 to 60 seconds at 720p with good quality, depending on how much motion there is. Fast gameplay needs more data than a static screen recording.
Why 720p and not 1080p?
At 10 MB, spreading the bits over fewer pixels looks sharper than forcing 1080p into the same size. Switch to 1080p for short, slow clips if you prefer.
Does Nitro change this?
Yes, Nitro plans raise the upload limit considerably. Use the custom size box to target your plan's limit instead of 10 MB.
