I am trying to add video when I contribute a review. I can add photos but when Maps access my Gallery it allows me to add photos but not videos. They don’t even show up in my Gallery. I’m using a Samsung S7 Edge. Thoughts?
Try uploading videos to Google Maps from Google photos.
It is the safe way to share with Google Maps.
Hello @JayDetty
I would like to make one thing clear to you that you can upload only a maximum of 30 seconds video to maps. If the videos are not showing then probably the video size maybe larger.
As @LuaPL suggested you can try uploading them via google photos.
Or one more way by which you can upload is go to the video in your gallery app and then click on share option in that you can find google maps. Through this it will let you trim your video even if it’s over 30 seconds. Make sure you tag the correct location of the place where you want to upload it to .

Hi ear @VickyKrish , even 3 minutes video cam be uploaded, but the first 30 seconds ONLY will be played in G. Maps - just for your info.

@TravellerG thanks for the information sir. But once I tired to upload a longer video to maps but I was not able to upload. Then I uploaded it using share option from my gallery which lead to a video cropping option, I was able to trim it to 30 secs and it was uploaded then
Hi @JayDetty ,
I can see that you’ve received so many great answers to your question, but I just want to add that the malfunction that you are experiencing could be because your app is not up to date. So my suggestion here will be to make sure to install the latest version of Google Maps, which is 10.2.1.
