Rather than send it via email use a file service like dropbox to store the video and send people links to that file.

If the video is in your photo app, you can just attach it to an email.


In the mail app, create a new message, in the body, double tap to get the Select/Paste selection tab, and press the right point arrow. you will get the option to "insert Photo or Video" which will take you to your photo's, select the video and it will be inserted as an attachment.


Of course, your mail provider's file/attachment size limits will apply, so if the video is too large, it won't get sent.

Hello,

I just began a project that I need to do fast and furious this week. I am asking a number of novice folks to video a birthday message for my husband's 70th bday on Fri. If they figure out how to video what is the easiest way for them to get the video to me. I think that with some of them (maybe most) downloading dropbox app may be too much.


Thanks so much for any tips!
