i have discovered an new trick for improving brave browser experience which i want to share but im annoyed by the 8mb video size limit… Due to this, i always wanted to lower the bitrate a lot to fit the video into that 8mb size… Please dont be stingy as it also stresses me out while im about to share such low bitrate videos…

its not like many users are uploading videos… since not many people post videos, it should not be a tough choice to increase video size limit to 100mb. If not atleast 70mb would be decent limit. THANKS

It’s a real creativity killer. I’ve been there, trying to share game clips and ending up with pixel mush. It would definitely make a huge difference if platforms could be a bit more generous with their video size limits to preserve the quality of what we’re excited to share.

In the meantime, while we wait for those limits to hopefully increase, using a free mp4 editor can help optimize your video’s size without sacrificing too much quality. It’s been a game-changer for me, allowing a bit of wiggle room to work within those tight constraints and still get my content out there looking decent.

I have already found a way to Get the videos at Good Quality at 8mb But yes a Higher Limit Threshold will Help us to Provide Richer Quality Videos, I Believe Brave is Most Likely on Business Plan which Sets Restriction of 100 GB Per Community which is the reason why we have the 8 mb Restriction

If Brave Eventually moves to Enterprise plan, we will have the Luxury of Uploading Richer Quality videos with Higher Bitrates where the Maximum Limit will be more than 8 mb

For Now @Mattches @Evan123 @fanboynz

I am Expecting some of you to kindly install the following component

Adding this Component will Prevent videos from having Black Thumbnails(As it has Custom Thumbnails Support)

Need More Clarity ?

Please check here on why i believe Brave Community should also have this component installed

https://meta.discourse.org/t/black-thumbnails-appearing-on-vertical-videos/318942/

I created this topic on Discourse Community and the Discourse Community has a fix for the issue and the way the brave community can also have this fix is by installing the component.

Thanks.

Will look into the component but we prefer to not add them if we don’t have to. For longer videos over 8MB, we suggest using a site like imgur (or imgur specifically) as imgur links will automatically appear as embedded videos:

Reason why i even asked How Long it will take to install Components on Brave community to Discourse Site Staffs because i did not know how installing components work on discourse Like as its Going to be a More Easy Process like Installing Extensions on Brave OR Something More Complex Like installing the Component and also making changes to the themes with this component tests.

Also, Few More Issues

Im already upset because the current theme settings seems to be restrictive as Brave blocked from Changing Colors in user settings Like how its Easy to Change Colors on Discourse Community, Accept it or not, Black theme is Good and Healthy for Eyes, Also Black theme increases Display Life for your Smart TV Panel.

Reddit uses Black theme by default, wish Brave team makes black theme default here on this community as white theme used for 6+ years… As a Brave Community, The Site Shouldnt be too resistant for Making New Changes…

As for the 8mb Limit, Even if brave doesnt make any changes to increase the Limit, No issues as i can Encode, 16 mb could help increase bitrates to make the video look more Good But while brave doesnt care about appearances, Lower Bitrates should be Just fine.

About Imgur, Im concerned in a way whether they support hotlinking or have “Rate limiting”, Having the Video uploaded here will Give Peace of Mind.

Please be friendly, Remove Restrictions/Censorship and allow Freedom of Speech, I mean if the Community welcomes New ideas, Criticism, Make users feel like they are in “Home”, it would be Awesome But the Current Scenario of Setting Limitations, Too Resistant to Changes, Censoring Posts due to Negative opinions is Not Good… Remember, We are here to Improve brave, Preventing users from Not being open minded and Make Everyone to only Follow What Society Expects them to be will also Limit Creativity, I Hope Brave Company Lives upto the Name “Brave”, Give users Freedom, Opinions will Never Slow down a Business if the Product is Really Good for which Brave Browser is already Excellent.

You can change to the dark theme by clicking on your profile icon on the top right, then Profile —> Interface --> Theme --> Brave Dark. Like just about every other website, the default theme for this site is and will remain a “light” theme. The Reddit page defaults to the dark theme not because we’ve set it that way, but because Reddit in general detects the browser and/or system them and matches it on the site.

While I can look into this for Community, it’s not particularly high on my list of priorities. Again, this setting can be easily adjusted from your profile settings.

There are very few restrictions, new ideas are welcome, and there is no censoring happening. Take 5 seconds to look on this site and you’ll find about 10,000 negative opinions and criticism.

This site has a relatively narrow focus of providing support for users having issues with the browser, and allowing users to provide [constructive] feedback about the browser. As such, most threads that do not fit that focus will be closed — while the site is “public” this is not an “open forum” or “town square”. Further, anything that goes against our code of conduct will be flagged, as is the case with most online spaces.
