Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Power Automate has a file size limit that the video exceeds.
Power Automate has a file size limit (default 100 MB) for actions like 'Get file content'. Large video files often exceed this limit, causing failures. Option A is incorrect because the SharePoint connector can read video files; file type is not the issue. Option B is incorrect because parallel branches are unrelated to file size limits. Option D is incorrect because Azure Blob Storage supports large files, including videos.
