    Have the latest beta installed with WP 6.1 and MPA option checked for video upload. But I am getting this error

    This file type is not allowed into this directory. Please use another one.

    any ideas?

    Hi thanks for your report.

    Can you try to rename your MP4 file so that the file extension is in lowercase like mp4?

    I believe we’re being too strict and uppercase can be an issue. I’ll fix this asap.

    Ok that seems to work but now got a file size error

    That media is too big. Please upload one smaller than 5 MB

    where are the upload size limits being pulled from?
