WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that lets you send HD videos to your friends and family. This article explains how to use this exciting feature. WhatsApp, owned by Meta, has been adding many new features lately. After allowing HD photo sharing, the platform now lets you share videos in HD quality as well.
The Quality Upgrade
Previously, videos sent on WhatsApp were compressed to 480p quality, regardless of their original quality. However, with the new feature, you can now send videos in 720p HD quality, resulting in better video sharing experiences.
Limitations While Sending HD Videos on WhatsApp
While the HD video sharing feature is already available for some users, it will roll out to all users in the coming weeks. Yet, it’s important to note that you can only send videos in 720p HD quality for now. Higher qualities like 1080p or 4K are not supported yet.

1. Update WhatsApp: Make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp from the Play Store or App Store.
2. Select Chat: Open the chat where you want to send the HD video.
