Re: why cant i send videos

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Are you trying to send a video using the text messaging app? You can't send anything more than around 1 MB in size over MMS. It's better to upload the video somewhere (like YouTube or your Google+ Photos page) and share the link privately with your friend. You could also send it using a Hangouts message--but this works essentially the same way (i.e., it uploads your video to your Google+ Photos, then shares that link privately with the recipient).
