How to upload videos and music to your Whatsapp status

Less than a year after its introduction, the new Whatsapp status feature is really gaining popularity. Since the instant-messaging platform included this option, users have been adapting to it and publishing their day-to-day photos that only remain active for 24 hours. And no one can deny today that Whatsapp is completely dominating our lives.

We use it to chat with our friends, to connect with new people, to communicate something important in a workgroup, to send funny memes to our friends and family and now to upload our thoughts or publish what we are doing at the moment.

If you are a fan of the Whatsapp status feature, you probably already know that you can upload captured images or retrieve photographs which you have saved in the gallery. You will also know that you have the option to modify them, add text messages, drawings or emoticons to make them even more personalized. Surely you will know all this, but did you know that you can also use videos and even audios as your Whatsapp status? In this post, we will tell you how to have 30 seconds whatsapp status video download mp4 hd mp4 full hd and audio as your Whatsapp status.

The step-by-step guide

Uploading photos to the Whatsapp states is fine, but having the ability to publish videos or music makes us express what we want in a much more real and dynamic way. Do you want to know how it is done?

1. How to upload any video as your Whatsapp status

With these instructions, you can upload a video that you have recorded with the camera of your mobile phone and you can even add any other video that you like on YouTube, for example. You just have to follow these steps:

+ Create a status: Creating a status on Whatsapp is very simple. Access the application and click on the status tab (it is right in between chats and calls). Next, a window will appear in which you will be able to see the statuses that your contacts have published and just above the option, you'll find the "Add status update" feature. You just have to click on this option.

+ Record video: Then the photo camera will open automatically. To record a video you must press the "capture" button and your phone's camera will record a video. At that moment, you can do what you want: say some beautiful words, record a beautiful landscape, or capture what you are doing at the moment.

+ Download video: If you want to upload some other video that you have seen on Youtube or any other platform and you liked it, what you should do is download it and follow the same steps that we explained before to publish it.

+ Cut video: Before downloading a video, you should bear in mind that WhatsApp limits the duration of the videos that we put in the status. To not have problems with it, you can install on your mobile some application that allows you to easily trim the video to put exactly the fragment that you want and that complies with the requirements of the WhatsApp status. Once you have it trimmed, you only have to go to the WhatsApp status, select the video from your multimedia gallery and share it with your contacts.

2. Trick to upload music or a song fragment as WhatsApp status

If you love music, sing or have a favorite song that you want to share with everyone, you can upload it to your WhatsApp status by following the steps below:

+ Create a new status: As we have explained before, to create a new status on WhatsApp, you have to go to the status tab and click on your status to add it. Although the next thing you'll see is the camera application, this is where we're going to apply our trick.

+ Open music app: At the same time that you might have opened WhatsApp on your mobile phone, you have to open the music app you use normally: Spotify or Apple Music, for example. Find your favorite song and when you have found it, hit the play.

+ Record a video: Once you have hit play, you have to quickly return to the WhatsApp status screen to click on the record button in a sustained manner, in the same way you would record a video.

+ Cover the lens: When the music from Spotify or the app you use is playing, the audio of the video will be the song that you have chosen. Of course, so that no image is shown in the video and only the music is heard, you can cover the lens of the camera with your hand and that's it. Later, you can add text or stickers to the video that contains the song.

Remember that WhatsApp statuses have an expiration date and that after 24 hours of publishing your video or song will disappear. If you want your contacts to continue seeing it, you will have to publish it again.
