Videos in Private Messages

In addition to pictures and GIFs, you can now share short videos up to one minute long in private conversations.

To send a video:

  1. Open a conversation
  2. Press the camera icon
  3. Select the video you want to share

Just like pictures, videos appear blurred when you first open the conversation. Select the video to reveal and play it.

Videos use the same privacy setting as pictures and GIFs. To change who can send them to you:

  1. Open your privacy settings
  2. Scroll to the "Inbox" section
  3. Choose who can send you pictures, videos, and GIFs

Videos can be shared and watched as long as at least one person in the conversation is a Supporter. So if you’re a Supporter and send a video to someone who isn’t, they’ll still be able to watch it.

We’re continuing to build out FetLife’s messaging system with more of the features you expect from a modern messaging system.
