Mastering Facebook Messenger Stories: Share Longer Videos in a Few Taps
Facebook Messenger Story users can now share longer videos than the previous 15-second limit.
Here’s how:
- Record or upload longer videos using the Facebook Camera app.
- Trim your video to fit the Messenger Story frame, either by using the "Trim" tool in the Facebook Camera app or third-party editing tools like iMovie or Adobe Premiere Pro.
- Share your trimmed video on Facebook and copy its link.
- In Messenger, create a new Story, paste the link, and hit "Share."
Alternatively, use Facebook’s Reels feature to share up to 60-second clips directly to Stories without trimming or using third-party apps.
Longer videos on Messenger Stories can increase engagement, according to Instagram Stories’ 30% engagement boost for videos between 15 and 30 seconds (Hubspot, 2021). Staying updated with social media features is crucial for active and valued users.
