App Inventor apps (may) have a 5 MB size limit. You need to be aware of this as you upload media to your project! Be sure to resize images and use relatively small sound/video files with this limit in mind.
App Inventor accepts video files up to 1 MB in size and limits the total size of an app to 5 MB, not all of which is available for media files. If your media files are too large, you might get errors when packaging or installing your app, in which case you should reduce the number of media files or their sizes.
