When you upload videos to Snapchat, they are capped at 10 seconds. With multi-snap, you can upload and record videos that are longer than 10 seconds. The catch is that the videos will be broken up into 10-second clips. These 10-second clips can be viewed in a sequence that instantly transitions from one video to the next. You can also record videos up to a minute long and post them to Snapchat. This wikiHow teaches you how to upload and record longer videos to Snapchat.
