You can attach audio, video or photos to Mastodon posts. To do this click on the attachment logo (which is a paperclip 📎 on the web, apps will usually have a photo icon).

Attachments can be:

-Up to four PNG, JPG or GIF images of 8 megabytes

-One MP4, M4V, MOV or WebM video of 40 megabytes

-One MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, OPUS, AAC, M4A or 3GP audio file of 40 megabytes

There is no length limit on audio or video, only a file size limit. Remember to add text descriptions for attachments! 👍

@feditips - Has there been any consideration to increase the MB file size for videos? It’s sometimes difficult to edit a video on a mobile phone when most tend to record in 4K/HD resolution.

Need to look up how to embed remote media like pics and clips, it's gotta be similar

@feditips Who does this impact, though? Is the attached media stored on the poster's instance?

@feditips
I love being able to edit posts.

This is especially useful if you forget to add alt text to images.

Then you can always add it later or get help from other readers who may even help type it out for you.

You can also just do a direct copy/paste 🙂 (unlike certain other sites where you have to upload)

@feditips Photos can be 16MB and videos can be 99MB now, I found out today.

@feditips I'm assuming these limits are configurable by instance admins?
Is there a way to find out the limits of your instance?

@feditips Can/could this be used to create a podcast feed? (Enclosure?)
