How To Fix YouTube Error: Video Processing is taking longer than expected.. Please wait.

You may wonder “why is it taking so long to process my video on YouTube”. 300 hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube every minute. YouTube stores all the videos in different data centers. To make sure they send the best quality video to each viewer and don’t take too long to do so, YouTube makes a bunch of copies of your video at different resolutions and stores them on all of its servers.

When you watch your video on YouTube, you’re not watching the original upload. The file you’re watching loads fastest and has the best quality YouTube has chosen for you.

This allows YouTube to provide you with a video that doesn’t take hours to download on your phone or if the Internet connection isn’t good. When you use the YouTube player, you can view all the different sizes of videos by clicking on the gear.

YouTube also processes these different quality videos into many different chunks. This allows them to give you chunks of different qualities in case your network connection changes while you watch the video.

How Long Does YouTube Processing Take?
According to Google: Processing time varies greatly depending on the format of your original video, file size, and upload traffic. This could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. You should also expect that higher resolution formats will render more slowly. For instance, 720p and 1080p may take significantly longer to appear than 480p.

How to Fix YouTube Video Not Processing?

no reason for this video to be 8 minutes long

This does not fix the error, it just tells someone else to fix it... and they obviously don't because we still keep getting this error!

I'm trying to upload a 2h 10m video that's 55 GB and keep getting this. The "fix" is to reupload but that alone is taking 6+ hours, to then be stuck processing again. How many times am I supposed to keep uploading it? Fk YouTube. Why do they *NEVER* fix this.
