I haven't been able to. This is the main reason I returned my Note 5 and went back to my iPhone 6s Plus. I suppose you could use email, Dropbox or Google Drive.

I use Google photos. It backs up all my photos and Videos for free and gives me the ability to send a link for others to watch videos or see pictures.

At least the note 5 sends a video. My old S5 didn't let me send a video bigger than like 17mb.

Samsung phones come equipped with a simple sharing feature which allows you to send video to contacts via a link they can stream. This allows you bypass mms size limits and they can see undegraded video.

Isn't enhanced messaging exactly that. Just turn on Enhanced messaging option in messaging settings.

Are you sure? It's called simple share. It's on top of the row of options.

Does this create a Web link from Google photos that anyone can click on? Or does it share it some other way?

I think linkiik121 means "enhanced messaging"

Also I don't think lots know that the simple sharing option is through the gallery and not through the messaging app. If u guys haven't tried from the gallery. Give it a try

I believe its just a link through Samsung where they have an option to stream or download.

How does it look on the receiving end?

I have this using Google photos which I'm thinking might be the same thing? Does the simple share create a link through Samsung? If that's the case then I would just assume the link come from Google anyway.

No, simple sharing is different from what you are highlighting. When I go into my stock videos app, I have the option when I hit share.
