Hi and Welcome to AC!

An 8 sec video in 1080p on my LG V10 is almost 17MB (the mp4 file). That's going to be too large for texting (usually) and even to large for some email providers.

The most efficient way to share videos, in my opinion, is to upload them to cloud storage and then share the link. Or try sharing them with WhatsApp or Hangouts.
