What settings for a video under 25MB?

For a 1-minute video: 480p at 55% quality is usually under 20MB. For 2 minutes: 480p at 40% or 360p at 55%.

Should I use email or a cloud link?

For videos over 1 minute, a cloud link (Google Drive, Dropbox) is usually better. Compression is ideal for short clips.

Does the compressed video look okay?

At 50-65% quality, video looks good on screen. For professional presentations, stay at 70%+ quality.

Can I compress presentation recordings?

Yes. Screen recordings with slides compress very well since they have less motion than action video.
