Video help!

Hi.

I was wondering whether there was anyway of setting the video recorder on the Nexus 5X to a lower resolution?

The videos created are huge and makes it almost impossible to share them because of their size.

I've looked in the settings but the lowest resolution I can see is 720. Anyway to get it lower than that?

I appreciate that the quality won't be there but at least I'll be able to share them quickly and easily.

Thanks!

Nexus 5X is the business!

As a practical matter, the only reasonable way to share videos is to upload them to a cloud account (such as Google Drive or Dropbox), set appropriate permissions, and then share a link via SMS, email, or whatever.

If you use Google Drive, after uploading the file, open the Drive app, long-press the video thumbnail, tap the button highlighted below, and then select a method to share the file link.
