Sending videos
Is there a way to change the setting to automatically send video in text as an individual video? Every time I send a video it wants to send as cloud link.

You can check the size of attachments from Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Review Large Attachments. From there, you can check to see if these videos are less than 20 MB.
If your videos are smaller and are still being sent as links, we recommend contacting Apple Support. You can reach out from Get Support or using the direct phone number for your region from Contact Apple for support and service.
Cheers!

This could be due to the video size. If an attachment is larger than 20 MB it will be replaced with a link. We found this information in Share photos and videos on iCloud.com.
Take care.
Hello gui0902,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that your videos are being sent as a link and not the video.
How are you sending the video when this happens? For example, are you copying a link or sharing using the share sheet? Is this a video from your camera roll or where?
Check to make sure that MMS is enabled on your iPhone. Check out If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch for further guidance regarding MMS messaging.
Have a great day!
Hi. I am sending the video by accessing it in my photos then sending it in a message. My MMS is enabled. When sending the video I have to click on options then individual video. And I have to do this every time is send a video.
All videos are between 1 and 2 minutes. Not that big.
