i am trying to upload a reel (MP4, 16 seconds, and 9 MB) using facebook graph API, but i get the following error:
Failed to upload reel: {'error': {'message': 'The video file you tried to upload is too small. Please try again with a larger file.', 'type': 'OAuthException', 'code': 382, 'error_subcode': 1363022, 'is_transient': False, 'error_user_title': 'Video Too Small', 'error_user_msg': 'The video you tried to upload is too small.

The code:

Any idea :(?
