Thirty seconds, full resolution, in the thread.
You send images today, over MMS, and MMS squeezes them into something grainy and small. RCS video is the real thing. A thirty-second clip in high resolution, up to a hundred megabytes, no compression, no external link a voter has to trust and click.

How Video text works.
Attach it where you write
The same button that takes an image takes a video. No separate tool, no upload portal, no workflow to learn.
RCS carries it whole
The clip plays in the thread at full resolution, and the composer preview plays it before it sends.
The fallback keeps everyone
On a phone without RCS, the message falls back to SMS or MMS with a link to the video. Nobody gets a broken send, and the rich version reaches more of your list every cycle.
What you actually get.
A face beats a paragraph
A text is words on a screen. A face saying the words is a person. On a phone, in the thread they already trust, a thirty-second clip of the candidate closes a distance no paragraph can.
Roughly triple the click
The one number every political shop cites. Video gets about three times the click of a flat image, and the voter watches the candidate say it in their own voice instead of reading it off a screen.
The RumbleUp move, without the workaround
They built a whole brand shrinking near-HD clips into carrier-friendly delivery. You get the same reach on the RCS rails you already stand on, no workaround required.
No link a voter has to trust
A shortened link from an unknown number is exactly what voters have been told to fear. The clip plays where they already are. Nothing to click, nothing to judge.
One honest line.
Video text is an RCS message type. On a phone with RCS on, the clip plays in the thread. On one without, it falls back to SMS or MMS with a link to the video, so nobody gets a broken send. The rich version reaches more of your list every cycle.
▶Put Video text to work.
Left or right, Txtra is the sender your carriers trust and your lawyers approve.

Asked and answered.
Can a campaign send real video by text?
Yes. Over RCS a thirty-second clip lands in the thread at full resolution, up to a hundred megabytes, no compression and no external link. The composer preview plays it before it sends.
What happens on phones without RCS?
The message falls back to SMS or MMS with a link to the video, so nobody gets a broken send. The rich version reaches more of your list every cycle as the rollout finishes.
Does video actually perform better?
The number every political shop cites is roughly triple the click of a flat image. A voter watches the candidate say it in their own voice instead of reading it off a screen.
