Cannot Send a Video on your Tab S6?
If you encounter an error and are unable to send the video file, check the file size. It’s possible that the video file you’re trying to send is too large and therefore needs to be converted. In this case, you can make use of any video converter Android app then import the video that you want to compress. The app should shrink the video size considerably and thereby makes it easier to send through email or of the built-in file sharing tools available.
