Utilizing this setting significantly enhances the quality of your uploaded videos. However, as the file size increases, it is recommended to use Wi-Fi.
Tips for Successful Uploads
Even with high-quality settings enabled, the outcome can be affected by the communication environment and original data. Pay attention to the following points.
- Communication Speed: Unstable communication during upload can reduce quality. Use stable Wi-Fi.
- Choice of Editing App: Check the export settings of your video editing app to ensure high quality is maintained.
- Video Resolution: For videos, shooting in Full HD (1080p) or higher resolution helps maintain higher quality.

Manage Data Size and Time
High-quality videos result in larger file sizes, which can take longer to upload. Additionally, when posting using mobile data, be aware of increased data consumption.
It's recommended to work in a Wi-Fi environment, but if you want to save data, consider trimming the video length or unnecessary parts before posting.
