How to fix AirDrop "Failed to save item. Save to iCloud Drive instead?" error message?

I am trying to transfer a 10 minute long 759MB video to my iPhone from my MacBook. I've just updated the software on both, I've restarted my network settings, I've cleared up space on my iPhone, and it's still not working. I've logged out of my Apple ID and logged back in. I've also tried saving it to my iCloud drive, but then my phone will not let me download the video. I've tried manually plugging my phone into my laptop and syncing the files, but it says iPhone cannot play the file. It is just an mp4 and I have transferred many mp4's before so I don't know what the problem is. I've even tried using Google Drive, but the phone still does not let me save the video. Again, the video is only 759MB, and I have 4.4 GB available on my phone. The only thing semi-successful was sending the video to myself in iMessage, but the quality is very low. I just want to transfer this video from my MacBook to my iPhone in its original quality.
