How To Add LONGER Videos on Facebook Messenger Story

Learn a cool trick to add long videos to your Facebook Messenger story in this easy tutorial.
Messenger defaults to videos of 15 seconds or less when adding a story. However, there's a trick to be able to add longer videos than the limit. In this tutorial, I walk you through the steps to trick the app into accepting my video that is nearly a minute long.
Keep in mind, you will first have to tap on the camera icon and then select the little card with photos/videos and from there you can select which long video you want to upload to your story. This won't make you trim the clip to shorter but will accept the full length of the longer video.
If this video helped you, please consider subscribing to my channel, it really helps me out. Thanks guys :)
If you have any questions about what you saw or unresolved issues, leave them in the comments below. Alternatively, you can send me an email by heading to my channel page, tapping on About, and tapping on View email address. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

[@deepagurung7354]

Same here 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@starning.943]

This is legit, thank you for helping me out! Adding longer story on facebook is one of my top problems not until I watched this video! 🤩

[@andrei1971]

Didn't work for me. Either there was a change or the instructions ran around in circles too much to be clear.

[@mcalanieti3151]

Yeah I tried it too but it didn't work as well

[@melodyfreecs3023]

Watch Stephen monesit I learn the easiest way to him 🥰

[@TradingMastermind]

Thanks. It's nice to have a video that explains things, is a real person speaking English and actually covers the key points. I watched several before this that didn't mention that one key difference.

[@Auxcordbroke]

You saved my day! I was trying prove a point with my video!! Needed this 🙏🏽

[@yen1382]

This tutorial is so easy to follow. thank you!

[@stevenrodrodriguez7272]

I don't think these steps are working anymore. Facebook must have made new changes to keep us from using these steps....that stinks because they was a good way of getting being 15-20 seconds...
