Adapting the video to the mobile will become, therefore, more and more essential and can be done following these simple recommendations: 
  • Make shorter videos so they can be viewed without taking too much time from the user.
  • Add subtitles and make them understand even if they look without sound. 
  • Put the important thing at the beginning of the video in case it is not displayed in its entirety.
  • That the image of the brand is also recognizable from the beginning of the video.
  • Adapt them to the specifications of each of the platforms so that they are integrated with the rest of the content and do not weigh much, although they lose some quality, so that they do not consume much data from users.
