Note:
Social Media Management does not have restrictions to files you upload to the Content Pool. Once you use the media for a specific channel, Social Media Management checks for compatibility with that network’s requirements. The only limitation is that the maximum accepted file size when creating stock is 1 GB per video and 25 MB per image.
