Discord 8 MB Upload Restriction Workaround! (for good quality videos)
I'll show you a neat workaround past Discord's 8 MB limitation for sharing videos. With this method, you can share videos under 50 MB, via hotlink embedding in Discord!
EDIT: Make sure to set the sharing setting of your 'Public' dropbox folder to public!
EDIT 2: Discord now supports AV1 embedding!!
EDIT 3: Discord now supports embedding videos bigger than 50 MB!!
TL; DR - 0:31
Dropbox - 1:30
Hotlink to video - 3:22
Embedding - 4:35
Tips - 6:18
Software used,
in video: Discord, Dropbox, Chrome, MS Word
for recording video: OBS
for editing video: Adobe Premiere, Audition
for recording gameplay: AMD Relive
for re-encoding gameplay: Handbrake, FFmpeg
Sample video used: 1080p60, 23 secs, 22.3 MB, 8 Mbit/s abr vp9, 128 Kbit/s opus, .webm
PC used: R5 3600X, RX Vega 56, 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz, ASRock B450M Pro4, EVGA 650w
I discovered this on my own, and do not mean to copy any other video (if it does already exist).
I don't believe that this is abusing any exploit, since both Dropbox and Discord are being used as intended.
