Quick answer

Check the current requirements for your Instagram account and sending route. The 100 MB starting value is an editable example, not a platform limit. The result uses actual bytes.

Review the copy before sending

The result shows whether it is within target, along with exact bytes, duration and audio track count. Play the important part before downloading the MP4.

Re-encoding loses some detail. There are at most two attempts, without silently dropping audio tracks. If it is still oversized, prepare a shorter source clip or increase the target.
