Enhanced Video Texting
The Best Video Texting
People who watch a video retain 95% of the message compared to 10% when they read text. So why not try enhancing your reach by sending a multimedia (MMS) text on the best video messaging platform in the industry?
Maximize the impact of your videos by using our Enhanced Video Messaging software to send the highest quality video texts ever. See for yourself:

(see disclaimer ⬇️)
Our Enhanced Video Messaging service enables you to deliver high quality videos that are 30 to 60 seconds (or longer!) embedded right inside your text messages. No link clicking required. We also offer added custom closed captions so your video is watchable even for those whose phone is on silent.
Enhanced Video Texting FAQs
How does Enhanced Video Texting differ from a standard MMS message?
Standard MMS messages contain a multimedia attachment such as a picture, GIF, or video sent on their own or embedded with text content. Videos sent with Standard MMS persistently suffer from cross-platform distortion and can’t be longer than about 15 seconds.
Enhanced Video Texting allows you to send much longer videos to multiple phone platforms while maintaining high visual and auditory quality, which other texting platforms have not been able to achieve.
Why send a video at all - why not just send a link?
Embedding a video is far better than sending a link to a Youtube video. People are hesitant to click on external links from texts for security reasons, and including links in texts often causes delivery issues. Including an embedded video is more convenient and efficient for both the sender and receiver!
In addition, around 64% of consumers make a purchase after watching branded videos and more than 50% of marketing professionals worldwide name video as the type of content with the best ROI.
Why can't I just run my video through a free online compression tool?
Most free compression tools are catered to reducing files to sizes appropriate for social media use, which rarely accommodates file reduction to textable sizes. Users often have to run several compressions on the video, which results in quality loss.
By contrast, our tool is designed with texting in mind. By examining individual video qualities, engineered specifically to meet mobile carrier requirements, we can deliver the highest quality videos at textable sizes.

Why not use another service that claims to send videos up to 5MB in size?
Simply put, other video SMS platforms, video texting apps, and services that offer video messaging do not come close to our Enhanced Video quality or delivery rates. Our industry-leading compression technology produces real results.
Our Enhanced Video Texts can be embedded directly in full-length 600 character messages, so you can ensure the message you want to get across to your audience is received correctly.
Now I'm hooked! How do I submit my request?
