How to Edit WeChat Videos Before Sending

WeChat, the chat application developed by Tencent, has just gotten a leg up over other chat applications in the features department. How so you ask? Well, the latest update for the chat application introduces a video editing tool that allows its users to tweak their videos before sending it into a chat channel.

Available on both iOS and Android devices, WeChat users that have received this feature will be able to see a new video editing button right after a video is recorded.

Much like the photo editor feature, WeChat’s video editor lets you make a number of changes to the videos that were taken with the app.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Scribbling and adding text annotations.
  • Add emojis.

Besides adding annotations and emojis into your videos, WeChat’s video editor also lets you trim the length of your video, perfect for cutting out filler.
