Hi, is there a way to exclude videos from being backed up on iCloud?
I wish to separate videos and photos when using iCloud back up, but I don’t know how to. Is there a way not to back up videos?

If you are using iCloud Photos, videos and photos are not part of the iCloud backup itself, but stored in the iCloud Photo app.
If you are not using iCloud Photos, videos are part of the iCloud backup and can't be excluded.

But, you can save the videos on an external drive after importing them to your computer.
After that you can delete them form your device to reduce the size of the backup.

To save space in iCloud, you can also archive data, before you remove it from iCloud:
