- The file upload size is limited to 20MB. Smaller video files load faster for your readers.
- Autoplaying videos on Content pages is not recommended. Reader interaction with a widget helps us gather data on whether they choose to play the video and how long they watch it. Therefore, autoplay is not an available feature in Turtl. However, embedding videos from certain video hosting providers (e.g., <a href="https://support.turtl.co/en/articles/5173247-embedding-microsoft-stream-videos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Microsoft Stream</a>) may allow this functionality.
