Photos and videos are like gold for your business' engagement on social media. However, creating a video takes significantly more effort than simply taking a photo, an effort that can be wasted if no one views it.

As videos become more prevalent, each social media platform has developed its own technical requirements to ensure they fit within its carefully developed user experience. These requirements include everything from how long the video is, to how it will display on the platform. If these elements are left unconsidered when creating the content, they can be detrimental to the video's success on social media.

Use this handy infographic to tailor your videos to the requirements of each social media channel and make your brand shine online.
