  "Text": "Available now",
  "TextColor": 4294967295,
  "BackgroundColor": 4278255360,

  "Image": "data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQ...",

Video status

Use a video data URL and keep file size reasonable. Large status uploads can fail because the file must be uploaded to WhatsApp before the status message is sent.
