### Video Upload Requirements

-   **File Format**: `.MP4`
    
-   **Dimensions**: `1080 x 1920` (Portrait)
    
-   **Length**: Aim for ~2 minutes
    
    -   (You can upload longer videos, but shorter tends to perform better!)
        
-   **File Size**: Keep under **1GB**
    
-   **File Name**: Use **all lowercase letters** (no spaces or symbols) to avoid upload issues

### Pro Tips for Performance

#### Use Social-Style Content

Your audience is used to short-form, attention-grabbing content. Upload videos similar to what you’d post on TikTok or Instagram Reels.

#### Add Caption Overlays

Not all users watch with sound. Captions help:

-   Increase **watch time**
    
-   Improve **click-through rates**
    
-   Make your videos more accessible

✅ Following these guidelines ensures a faster upload process and a better viewer experience.
