This should be an @nostr.build issue. If there will be a problem seeing it in Nostr - @nostr.build should help the user resolve it before it gets posted.

That's a downside of Nostr's decentralized nature. Centralized platforms have solutions to this, but Nostr so far hasn't fixed this, the work is left to the end user. I've posted about it many times in the past 😂 Support for video compression is included in some clients, Amethyst being one I use.
Unlike centralized social media your videos aren't automatically optimized on Nostr. Here are some good tools to compress your videos for smaller size and better streaming before upload.
"Make sure to make it web optimized and no more than 720p. Or even 480p is great for a long news like segments 🐶🐾🫂🫡💜"

Handbrake looks complicated, but there are presets available. Under General, Fast 720p30 & Fast 480p30 will be good options. I would also enable the Web Optimized option for better streaming.
FFmpeg

If you are comfortable with the terminal FFmpeg is a best in class option. LLM's are useful to formulate your commands.

Nostr will never grow without artists/creators, and this thread is a prime example of how to lose artists/creators who WANT to use nostr.
