Creators worldwide have reported problems uploading both regular videos and <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/using-youtube-shorts-as-an-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shorts <\/a>to the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google has now officially <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/thread\/342735707?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confirmed the issue<\/a>. According to YouTube, there are two main problems being investigated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Uploads getting stuck \u201cat 0%\u201d<\/li><li>Upload progress freezing during the &#8220;suitability&#8221; check<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-07-123526.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104358 lazyload\" width=\"531\" height=\"620\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/thread\/342735707?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube Help page<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue is affecting both mobile and desktop upload, so users can\u2019t simply switch devices to solve the problem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>No fix yet, but YouTube is on it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thousands of creators have taken to YouTube\u2019s help page to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/thread\/342735707?hl=en&amp;msgid=342883312\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">share screenshots<\/a> and experiences of the issue. The platform has acknowledged the situation and says updates will be posted in the help thread with any progress. So far, there is no official timeline for a fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why it matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For many artists and creators, YouTube is key to releasing engaging content to reach new audiences and build your fanbase. Upload delays can disrupt release schedules, marketing campaigns and affect the livelihood of creators who depend on YouTube uploads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully YouTube can resolve the issue soon so creators can carry on posting their content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/what-is-youtube-content-id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monetize your music across YouTube&#8217;s Content ID system with RouteNote.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uploads stalling at 0%?
