If your YouTube video upload is stuck, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue:

Check your internet connection: Make sure you have a stable internet connection. If your connection is weak or unstable, the upload may be stuck or fail.

Restart the upload: Try restarting the upload process. This can sometimes resolve issues with stuck uploads.

Check the video size and format: Make sure your video is in a supported format and that it is not too large. YouTube has a limit on the size of videos that can be uploaded, and videos that exceed that limit will not upload.

Clear browser cache and cookies: Clearing your browser's cache and cookies can help resolve issues with stuck uploads.

Try a different browser or device: Sometimes, uploading a video using a different browser or device can help resolve issues with stuck uploads.

Check YouTube's server status: If YouTube's servers are down or experiencing issues, that may be the reason why your upload is stuck. You can check YouTube's official status page to see if there are any known issues.

Contact YouTube support: If none of the above solutions work, you may need to contact YouTube support for further assistance.

It's important to note that if your video is very large or has a high resolution, it'll take longer to upload, but it should eventually upload if your internet connection is stable.

I LOVE how she just gets to the point. More people should be this way.

I deleted so many videos to restart the upload from scratch before. I can't believe how easy it is to fix this. Thank you for the tutorial!

[PositiveVibesVideos]

WOW I was stuck at 88% uploading a HUGE file (6, 7 GB) and sadly thinking to be forced to restart everything. Your tip worked perfectly, I didn't know it was possible and I will keep it as a treasure for my future uploads 😊😊😊 My subscription, as a little token of gratitude 😃

Had a 200GB+ upload stuck at 30% - now uploading again thanks to this advice. CHeers!

[tranquility]

I tried this and instead of starting from the point I was at it made a new video upload of the same video that started at 0%. Now I have 2 of the same video one that’s stuck at 90% and one restarting at 0%. What should I do?

[IvaNGameS]

Thank you!

I watched other videos where it said to cancel and re-upload and I had to go from 0% again. I had 0 hopes in this video because of like/dislike ratio but at the end it worked smoothly and now its going from 52% to 100%

Thanks! It work ! I was stuck at 64% of a long video (7gb), then I follow the steps, when I reupload, the new one starts on 1%, I didn't cancel the stuck video. And the New one finally got pass 64%, straight to 100% !

Thank you for not wasting our time and getting straight to the point.

[baconplayz]

Thank you for the advice! I had a video stuck at 98%, and it took hours to get there.

[fidys]

my video was funnily enough, stuck at the exact same percentage as you showed in your demonstration! thanks so much for this tutorial, it really helped me.

[StarWarsRumors]

This is great, I had no idea it was possible to do this.

[TeRRible_MC]

Thanks Bro❤️❤️ I tried and it worked it saved my time for uploading almost a half an hour video
It was stuck a 90% but finally saw your video and fixed Thanks🔥🔥

[Glesgeek]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how stressed I was when I came home and saw that my PC had turned off, when I was uploading two videos, because it just finished a windows update. My videos normally take 4 hours to upload and, as a result, I'm on a tight schedule. This would have buggered that up. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of this video. Here's a like for you. ☺

[oregonink]

Thank you so much! This worked perfectly for me! :) This 3.5gb video is estimated at 48 hours for me to upload... so when it got stuck on 44% for the last 4 hours I got really worried. I have THE worst internet xD (btw, it's my first one! nervous and excited to see the upload bar ticking away. lol) Thanks again, you saved my bacon today! :)

[QUEENVIONNA]

if the world was as efficient as you it would be a paradise

[MeliMoon]

THANK YOU! I was uploading a vid when my computer shut off so the tab closed. It was stuck on 69% (nice) and wouldn't go further. By using this, it unpaused the upload and uploaded the video. Also thank you so much for getting straight to the point! I don't have 20 minutes to waste so this helped out pretty quickly! :)
