File Compression Included In Discord
So, even with nitro I regularly hit the 100 megabyte limit for videos and photos pretty often. I usually use a video compression website to scale the video down a little more but I was thinking how sick it would be if discord had an integrated version of this.
My idea was: If you can't upload a video due to the 8 megabyte (no nitro) or 100 megabyte (with nitro) limit. Have the ability to compress the video right there in discord to scale the size and quality down a little more to fit the requirement.
I'm sure there might be a lot of problems coding this. Although I was also thinking perhaps you could still include software that compresses videos in discord but uploads them to a compression website of some sort and then just return the download. (Assuming that might be easier than coding one from scratch). Of course, using a reliable provider for this.
And if that's too "convenient" for marketable purposes, wanting to sell nitro still. Try using an upload and download cap/rate to the compression portion. With nitro, have it uncapped or raise the upload speed to the compression.
Adding this to discord would truly save me a ton of time having to upload and download videos all the time to compression websites. Just being able to do so right in the comfort of discord would be awesome. I see no reason not to add this as I'm sure many other people use a similar method to mine, there would be a considerable demand in my opinion that already exists for file compression. Not adding it would just mean I would continue to use some random compression website. Making it all the more comfortable and easy to have one right here in discord.
