Common uploading errors and how to fix them
Here are some of the most common uploading errors that you may encounter on YouTube, and how to fix them:
“We have encountered unexpected problems”: This Error Message may appear when YouTube is experiencing technical issues or high traffic. Try waiting a few minutes, then upload again. If the problem persists, try uploading from a different device or network.
“The server has rejected the file”: This error message may appear when you are uploading a file in the wrong format. Make sure that you are using a supported file type, such as MP4, MOV, AVI, or WMV. You can also try converting your file to a different format using a video converter software or online tool.
“An error has occurred while sending data over the network”: This error message may appear when your browser needs to be updated to the latest version. Below are some of the browsers that we recommend using to upload videos: Google Chrome, Firefox 4 or higher, Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge with Silverlight turned on. Once you update your browser, try to upload again.
“Processing abandoned”: This error message may appear if the uploaded file is shortened or invalid. It can also appear on reduced upload speeds. Try playing your video back on your device and make sure that it is not corrupted or damaged. You can also try compressing your file to reduce its size and improve its upload speed. If the problem remains, try uploading your video from a different platform.
“A network error has occurred”: This error message may appear when your browser needs to be updated to the latest version. Follow the same steps as above to update your browser and try again.
“Can’t upload. Your channel status or account settings currently don’t support uploads”: This error message may appear when your channel has a Community Guidelines strike, a Content ID claim, or an account suspension. Check your channel status and features page to see if there are any issues affecting your ability to upload videos. If there are, follow the instructions on how to resolve them.
If none of these solutions work for you, you can also try these general tips:
Clear your browser cache and cookies.
Restart your device and router.
Use an incognito or private browsing window.
Disable any extensions or plugins that may interfere with YouTube.
