Video resolution handling in SocialBee
SocialBee does not compress videos on our side. We always send the video at the resolution you upload.
However, we cannot guarantee how each social media platform will handle your video, as they may apply their own compression or resizing after upload.
Below are the maximum video resolutions supported via the platforms’ APIs:
| Platform | Max Video Resolution (API) | Notes |
| 1920 × 1080 (1080p) | ||
| 1080 × 1920 (1080p) | ||
| Threads | 1080 × 1920 (1080p) | |

You can share links on any social platform, but not all support link posts. For these platforms:

Recommended social media aspect ratio
