My Upload's Been Running a Long Time and Hasn't Completed. What Should I Do?

Video upload time can vary widely and depends on several things:
  • The speed of your connection to the Internet
  • The size of the video that you are trying to upload
  • The number of other people that are also uploading videos
You can think of upload as consisting of two steps:
  1. Uploading the file
  2. Processing the file (we convert it to formats that work well on the web and generate thumbnails of the video and any steps that you add)

If the progress bar becomes stuck during upload for a long period of time, it might be temporary problem with your Internet connection or the site may be experiencing very heavy traffic. Please wait a while and try your upload again.

If the progress bar becomes stuck during processing for a long period of time it probably means that there are many other people that are uploading videos.

You can leave the page and when your video is processed you will see it appear in your list of videos.
