Hello quelle51232,

Facebook Messenger does not support AVI files. However, we have confirmed that MP4 files can be sent without any issues.
If you are still experiencing problems with sending MP4 files, please send a file to bandicam@bandicam.com.

Regarding whatsapp(web), please refer to the following topic.

Thank you.

Thats strange because in the settings for Viedeo , it does says it makes the file mp4 not avi . Under properties on my desktop it also says datatype : MP4-Video (.mp4)

I tested it with an Avii file ( changed the settings in bandicam), i could send it on the fb messenger , it shows like an document and if u click it u download it .
But MP4 . it tells the file format is invalid

Like i said , in the past it used to work but after some time this started happening .

Im gonna send an test file to that mail

Hello,

Thank you for sending the file to us.
We couldn't reproduce the issue with your video file.

Please choose the 'AAC' audio codec instead of 'MP3', and try again.

Thank you.
