Adding Videos and Photos to Your Activity

You can add videos and photos any time after completing an activity on Strava. We expect all Strava athletes to honor the Strava Community Standards and this expectation applies to videos and photos you share with our community.

• Videos up to 30 seconds long are supported. If your video is longer than 30 seconds and you want to choose which 30 seconds are included, we recommend cropping your videos within your camera roll. Otherwise, videos longer than 30 seconds will be automatically cropped to the first 30 seconds.
• Portrait, panoramic, landscape, and square aspect ratios are all supported.
• There is no limit on the number of videos or photos you can attach to your activity. However, activities on the mobile app will only display six while the web will show 12.

Managing Videos and Photos

• On the Strava Website, you can drag and drop media to change the order that it will appear. This option is also available on the Strava mobile app by selecting Edit Media on the activity edit screen.

FAQs

My videos and photos are not appearing in the order in which I uploaded them to my activity.

We are experiencing an issue that is causing videos and photos to appear in random order instead of the order they were updated in. We apologize for any inconvenience as we work to resolve this issue.

Can I stop videos from automatically playing in my feed?

Yes, you control this option from either the mobile app or website. Any changes made will be applied to both platforms.

• From the mobile app, open your settings from the icon in the upper right corner of the You tab. Scroll down and toggle the “Autoplay Video” option OFF (it will no longer be highlighted orange).
• From the Strava website, hover over your profile picture in the upper right corner and select Settings from the drop-down menu. Select Display Preferences from the menu on the left-hand side. Toggle “Autoplay Video” OFF (it will no longer be highlighted green).
