What you need to know
Threads supports video uploads up to 5 minutes long — significantly longer than Instagram Reels (90 seconds). The recommended format is 9:16 vertical (1080×1920) for maximum screen coverage, but 4:5 portrait (1080×1350) and 1:1 square (1080×1080) also work well in the feed.
Video on Threads auto-plays without sound in the feed (users tap to enable audio), similar to Instagram and Facebook. This means the first few seconds need to capture attention visually without relying on audio. Use captions, bold text overlays, or visually striking opening frames.
The maximum file size is 1GB, and Threads accepts MP4 and MOV formats. Use H.264 codec with AAC audio for the best compatibility. Threads compresses all uploaded videos, so uploading at the highest quality your source supports will produce better results after compression.
