How To Send Large Video Files on Discord (Without Nitro)

Howto & Style

Introduction

Discord is a popular platform for communication among gamers and communities, but one of its limitations is the file size for uploads. By default, users can upload files up to 8 megabytes, and even Discord Nitro subscribers can only upload files up to 100 megabytes. This can be quite restrictive when you’re trying to share videos or other large files. Fortunately, there’s a workaround that allows you to upload larger video files without needing Discord Nitro. In this article, we’ll walk you step-by-step through the process of uploading large video files to your Discord server.

Step 1: Use Imgur for Video Uploads

To get started, you’ll need a web browser, whether it’s Google Chrome or any other browser of your choice. The first thing you need to do is navigate to the website Imgur.com. This platform allows you to upload videos and generate a link that you can easily share on Discord.

  1. Go to Imgur: Open a new tab in your web browser and visit Imgur.com.
  2. New Post: Once on Imgur, click on the option to create a New Post.
  3. Upload Your Video: You can now drag and drop your video file into the upload area. Imgur supports video files and will upload it for you.
  4. Title Your Video: As the video uploads (which is usually quick), you have the option to provide a title for your video, although this step is optional.
  5. Wait for Upload: Once the video is uploaded, you’ll see it in your Imgur gallery and you can play it to ensure it’s working as expected.

Step 2: Share the Video on Discord

After your video is successfully uploaded to Imgur, you need to share it on Discord.

  1. Copy the Link: Imgur gives you a link to your uploaded video; copy this link.
  2. Return to Discord: Open your Discord app or website and navigate to the server where you want to share the video.
  3. Paste and Send: Simply paste the Imgur link into the chat. When you hit enter, Discord will automatically embed the video, displaying it as if it were uploaded directly to the platform. The video will even be playable directly in Discord.

And that's it! You’ve successfully uploaded and shared a large video file on Discord without requiring a Nitro subscription.

Thank you for reading this article. We hope you found these steps helpful for sharing your large videos on Discord!
