YouTube Video stuck on Processing

In this post, we will be seeing what to do when your YouTube Video is stuck on processing. But, at first, we will see the various reasons why at times YouTube video does not upload properly and stick on Processing. We have seen many reports of YouTube videos getting stuck in processing, usually at 0%, 95%, 99%, or 100%. Even a short video that might only be a few minutes long takes hours to finish processing. Why does your video get stuck in processing? Why so much time is needed to process one video? So, without wasting any more moments let’s get away with the topic at once.

YouTube Video stuck on Processing

In this section, we will look at the various reasons why we may come across this problem. Basically, there are particularly three reasons that this problem persists. Let’s see them one by one:

• Maybe a problem with YouTube servers

Sometimes the YouTube server temporarily goes down, which causes problems in processing YouTube videos in all or certain regions.

Also, too many video uploads at a given time put a heavy load on the YouTube server. To handle the increasing traffic from YouTube uploaders, the upload rates are slowed down.

• Maybe a problem with your file

While uploading, you shall ensure that your video is encoded and packed in a file format supported by YouTube. One more thing: some video formats take longer to upload.

To speed up YouTube video uploads, YouTube recommends that you use the recommended formats. If you are using an unsupported format or a time-consuming one, convert your video now. Moreover, a larger video will undoubtedly cost more time to process. So try to downsize your video.

• Your network connection is unstable

If your internet connection is not stable and fast, you will also have a problem with slow processing. For example, 4K videos are not only very large but also need more bandwidth, up to 20 Mbps, to upload to YouTube.

However, if you have been waiting for hours and want to do something to fix the error, try the following tricks.
