How to Collect Uncompressed HD Videos from Event Guests

Help guests share original video files directly from their browser and plan around event Wi-Fi, upload limits, and file size.

Event memories are easiest to keep when everyone knows what to do. This guide breaks the process into clear steps you can use before, during, or after a celebration.

Why chat apps can reduce video quality

Many messaging apps resize or recompress video to make it quicker to send. A dedicated event gallery gives guests a separate browser-based place to contribute files, without asking them to join a group chat or install an app.

Check your event’s upload allowance

Maximum file size depends on the creator’s plan and the event’s settings. Check the current limit before the celebration, then share it with guests if you expect long clips or high-resolution video.

Confirm the event is still accepting uploads.

Check available storage and file-size limits in the creator workspace.

Ask guests to choose the original file rather than a messaging-app copy.

Make large uploads more reliable

Video uploads need a steady connection and can take longer than photos. Encourage guests to use venue Wi-Fi when it is reliable, keep the browser open while the upload finishes, and try a smaller batch if the connection is congested.

Avoid switching networks during an upload.
Keep the phone awake until the upload confirmation appears.
If a clip exceeds the event limit, trim it or ask the host about another option.

Preserve the source where it matters

KoloPix accepts guest media within the limits shown for the event. For important footage, keep the original on the guest’s device until the gallery confirms the upload and the host has downloaded or backed up the collection.
