A holiday-hours video for your Google Business Profile in 30 seconds

A restaurant can post a short holiday-hours video to its Google Business Profile, and a 20-second avatar clip fits the limits. Google's help page, read on 2026-10-04, says videos can be up to 30 seconds, up to 75 MB and 720p or higher. Sume's avatar video renders at 720p, so it meets the minimum.

The page also says it can take 24 to 48 hours before photos and videos show on the profile, so post the video a few days before the first changed day.

What to say in 20 seconds

List the days that change and nothing else: closed on the 25th, open until 6 pm on the 24th and 31st, and the phone number for bookings. About 45 words is enough. Spell out times, since digits can be misread.

Cost and settings

Use the avatar video endpoint with a 20-second script. A product image can be the front of your restaurant or a menu plate.

Check the file

Keep the length under 30 seconds with a few seconds of margin, and check that the file is under 75 MB before you upload. Use a landscape or portrait aspect ratio that the profile accepts; the 16:9 or 9:16 options in the avatar settings are the usual picks.
