Thank you, Sir. I'm uploading videos directly through the clients from my hard drive.

Primal desktop doesn't work for me, and I'm keeping my eye on Damas desktop but for now it only has the option to upload from iCloud Photos which is workable but too many extra steps. I'm open to all other suggestions!

What's your average video size? Looks like Coracle defaults to uploading via nostr.build (Nostr clients don't host your media themselves) and they have a max file size of 21mb for those who don't have a paid account.

My average video size is around 30 seconds and less than 3 min max. I would prefer not to use nostr.build, if possible since I already have too many apps running.

Ah, but you are already using nostr.build without realizing it. 😉

Your last post with a video on it was uploaded to nostr.build via whatever client you used:

Examining the text-only version of this note revealed this:

Remember, clients are just glorified front-ends displaying data that is stored somewhere else entirely. Notes are stored on relays, but media such as photos and videos needs to be stored somewhere too. The client itself doesn't store it. They rely on media hosting services like nostr.build to host your media.

Nostr.build is the most common one, because it has been around the longest, but there are others. Additionally, Blossom servers are becoming a more and more popular way to host media, as it helps make media storage more decentralized.

I run my own Blossom server, for instance. Which means I am hosting my own photos and screenshots. But, if my server goes down, that media won't be accessible either. So there are tradeoffs.

Then again. On Blossom, media is content addressable, so if I have my uploads mirrored to other Blossom servers, clients can fetch them from there, even though my server is down.

Okay, well if I can't upload videos directly to clients from my hard drive, I guess I would need the most simple, user-friendly solution, being that I have very little tech skills as well as very little time, energy, and resources, personally.

Per upload, 50MiB

If you need a larger space and full management of media, there is paid option at different levels and tiers: https://getnb.me

You guys go and increase it again? I could have sworn you JUST increased it to 21MiB.
