WhatsApp video limits
WhatsApp allows video attachments up to 16MB per message. WhatsApp Business increases this to 64MB. Videos must also be in a compatible format (MP4, H.264 recommended).
Using 14MB as the target (instead of 16MB) gives a small safety margin since file size can vary slightly after encoding.
If your video is still too large after compression, try trimming it shorter or removing the audio track to free up more bitrate for video quality.
