Whats the best way to send a video file (700mb lasting 6 minutes)

Whats the best way to send a video file (700mb lasting 6 minutes) off my Apple account accessible thru either my iPhone or iPad?


I’ve tried sending a link from my iCloud account. But apparently, my recipient is having difficulty forwarding it to another party? Perhaps maybe there’s a way to create a zip file that can then be forwarded? If so, how do I do that?


Thanks, Apple Community!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Instead of attempting to send an oversize video file, you try something far simpler - sharing the video using an iCloud Link. The iCloud User Guide describes the feature:

Share photos and videos with an iCloud Link on iCloud.com - Apple Support


Sharing via an iCloud Link allows sharing with anyone - regardless of their computer.
