Poor video quality when sending

[MikeyIrish]

I have a question. I can't send quality video unless I do it with link sharing.  Sometimes I will take a should video 10 seconds or so and send it to wife or daughter and it's always grainy. They have iPhones but I don't same video to friends with Samsung phones and same results.

Any help would be awesome.

"how" are you sending?

[MikeyIrish]

through text message. if I do link sharing video is good.

We have a neighbor with an iPhone who occasionally sends video via text ... the quality is horrible.
Personally, I just think "it's the nature of the beast" ... one can't expect quality video via text (can they?)

my wife and daughter will send each other a video in a text and quality is excellent . both having iPhones

I just sent a video (using my 21 Ultra) to my wife's phone (S21), via text, and the video quality (viewing on her phone within text app) is the same [high quality] as if I'm looking at the original video on my phone's video player app.

Disclaimer: we both use Google Messages vs Samsung Messages app (though we primarily use Google Hangouts or Chat (I also use Google Voice).

I suspect there's something amiss when sending or receiving between Android and iPhone. (remember, I mentioned video quality is horrible when our neighbor sends videos via text to us using their iphone)

@user751201tmO21 I am confused.  I watched your YouTube video, and think the video looks awesome.  You can see that the horse has a shiny coat, and the leaves on the trees appear to move at a different rate.  It looks awesome to me, even when full-screened on my laptop.
