About video upload

• Video upload enables you to:
  • Upload MP4 videos from any source outside of UserTesting.
  • Create clips and Highlight reels.
  • Read and search through automatically generated Transcripts (if available on your account).
• There are some restrictions and recommendations for video upload:
  • Only MP4 files can be uploaded.
  • The maximum file size is 5GB.
  • Videos should be less than one hour in length.
  • Deleting an uploaded video will permanently delete the video from your team's account.

4. Drag and drop or choose your MP4 files for uploading.
