FAQs

• Is there a limit on the size of video I can upload?

  On Free Plans, the limit is 5MB. For paid plans, there's no limit!

• Can I justify videos to be left/right/center aligned?

  Notion doesn't have traditional alignment options at the moment. For now, you can align content left or right by creating a new empty line under it, then using the ⋮⋮ icon to drag it to the left or right to the content. If you drag it to the left, your content will move right, and vice versa. You're essentially creating a new empty column that you can also resize.
