How to Post to Snapchat Spotlight from a Computer
Hey everyone. In today's Snapchat video, I want to show you a quick way to post, to Snapchat from a computer and this is for the Snapchat spotlight, the vertical format videos on Snapchat. If you're new to the spotlight, I have a completely dedicated video and I'll link to that in the description below. This is for people that create their videos on a computer.
Like I created a lot of brand videos for Snapchat, Instagram, real and other platforms in vertical form. Using editing software. So then I need to quickly post them on Snapchat or other platforms too. But now every platform that you do it on the computer, and this is the one for the Snapchat spotlight, and I'll show you the formats and high do it personally.
But all you have to do to post is going to snapchat.com, just a website, and press spotlight right on top, and then it brings you to this page where you could post to spotlight using this option right here at this point is going to ask you to sign in with your username and password, the same one you use on the app, but you do have to sign in and then you just choose a video to post.
Now, there's a couple of formatting options and I tested a few different ones. So if you try to post videos, That are not in the right size, is going to say something like this video too large, or you might say the wrong aspect ratio. So a couple of things to pay attention to the settings that you should really know about is the video has to be in MP4 format.
It has to be less than 60 seconds, but longer than five seconds, and the minimum resolution has to be 576 by 1024. I don't recommend this resolution. I actually like 1080 by 1920 or 2160 by 3840 I'll show you see those in a second. So for example, here is a 9 by 16 video and the traditional version of that is this one that is 16 by nine.
So these 16 by nine videos don't work. If you're doing it like this from scratch, just. Your edit sequence to be 1080 by 1920. That's the size that Snapchat spotlight likes. Another option is 2116 by 3840. This is basically the 4k vertical and you'll see that it'll say vertical 9 by 16. So those are your two options.
I've already exported my video that way and you'll see it over here. It's basically going to show you the video right here in full. Next, you could add topics. So this is in filmmaking and you could have up to five topics here and agree to their terms here and then you say post to spotlight right here, and then just like that it's been submitted and you could add a new post and it's that simple to post, to Snapchat, the spotlight from a computer and it makes it very, very easy. If you're a content creator. That edits things on a computer. I hope you found this useful. I post easy-to-follow tech and social media videos every single day, and I'll see you next.
