About This Feature

Overview

Video Messages lets you send local video files in WPS collaboration chats on macOS. It supports a confirmation preview before sending and shows the sent file as a playable video card in the chat window.

Core capabilities include:

Select a local video file: Open the file sending entry from the message editor and choose a video from your Mac.
Preview and send: Review the thumbnail, file details, and duration before sending.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports selecting a local video file in chat, previewing it before sending, and showing it as a playable video card after sending.	Teams lets users attach files from the device or cloud in chats and channel messages, and image or video attachments can include previews.	Google Chat lets users attach files from a computer, mobile device, or Drive, and shared files can be managed from the Shared tab.	Notion supports uploading MP4 and other media to pages, with drag-and-drop and in-page playback when supported.	Acrobat focuses on adding video or other rich media to PDFs, or linking to media, rather than sending video in chat conversations.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: The workflow stays inside the chat editor, with a preview-before-send step and direct playback in the conversation.	Compared with WPS: The workflow is centered on general file attachments in Teams chat rather than a dedicated chat video preview flow.	Compared with WPS: File and video sharing are supported, but the experience is organized around general file sharing and shared content management.	Compared with WPS: Better suited to page-based content storage and embedded media than real-time chat delivery.	Compared with WPS: Focused on PDF multimedia content instead of chat-based video messaging.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Video Messages is more closely aligned with direct chat communication, especially when you want to send a local video, confirm it before delivery, and play it inside the conversation. Microsoft Teams and Google Chat provide broader file-sharing workflows, while Notion and Adobe are oriented toward page content or PDF media scenarios instead of chat-first video messaging.
