TalkingPoints allows all teachers to send videos to their families at no extra cost!
However, there are a few restrictions to the type of video and video size that you can attach. Those restrictions are set by our cell carrier to ensure that formatting arrives correctly whether families are receiving your messages through the Family App or text message.
Videos must be in .mp4 format and can only be a maximum of 5MB.
Tip: If you need to send a larger video, load it on YouTube or another video service and send the link through TalkingPoints.
