What's the message you get? Is it an error?

Try using another text messaging app from the Play Store. There are a lot of free ones that you can try that will let you send videos. The only thing I can think is that the messenger app doesn't support sending videos (which I don't know why) or a setting is preventing you from attaching a video.

Most videos can't be made small enough. The limits are:

Text - 1MB (or less, depending on the carrier).

Email - 25MB.

For anything larger, use a cloud account and text or email a link to the file.
