There are many ways that we can use to send videos to other people.
If we want to send a video to a friend who is beside us, then we can use bluetooth or an application like ShareIt .
But what if we want to send videos to people who are far away?
Actually there are many ways that we can use. One of the most popular and easiest ways is to email the video .
And since Gmail is one of the most popular email services today, you can be sure that you and your friends have Gmail accounts.
