The ability to upload video is on its way for the global Strava user community over the next few weeks. As of today, all Strava users will be able to see videos in their feed but not everyone will be able to upload right away, as the new feature has a phased roll-out.
In the coming weeks, Strava users will note that video clips of up to 30 seconds can be added to activity uploads, and there’s no limit on how many videos that are included with posts on Strava.
If a video file is longer that 30 seconds, Strava will trim it automatically. Landscape and portrait orientations are both supported. Videos play auto-looped, and the ability to watch and upload videos is free for all athletes (i.e., not part of the subscription).
The company noted… ‘On Strava, photos have been a way to amplify your activities and give the community a glimpse into your efforts. But sometimes you need a little more action to bring your movement to life. That’s why we’re rolling out a new video feature for all athletes over the next few weeks. (Yep, we heard your requests.)’
Users can add videos just like photos by using the app to upload 30-second clips to any activity. Strava added… ‘get out there on the roads, trails, ocean or mountains and give a behind the scenes look into your activities, wherever they take you.’
