Video messages

Send videos without worrying about file limits

Attach a product demo or a how-to clip and ThreadWave compresses it in the background to fit the channel — then plays every video inline, full-screen or in a floating player.

Background compression

Large clips are shrunk automatically so they meet WhatsApp and Messenger limits.

Picture-in-picture

Pop a customer’s video out and keep typing while it plays.

Media by link

Share a hosted video by URL instead of uploading a heavy file.

What happens to very long videos?

ThreadWave compresses them to fit the channel’s size limit. If a clip is too long to fit, you’ll be told before sending.
