YouTube has acknowledged the video uploading issue that content creators are facing as of May 7, 2025. Many users who want to upload videos to the platform are reporting that their content is stuck at 0% and no progress is being made.
YouTube is working to fix the video uploading issue
This issue is seen in both classic YouTube videos and short content in the Shorts format. The problem is not limited to the first stage of uploading; some users report that the system that checks whether videos comply with YouTube policies is also not working, and that uploading stops at this stage.

This issue occurs in uploads made from both desktop computers and mobile devices. YouTube’s parent company Google has announced that it is aware of the situation and that the number of users affected is considerable.
The company’s technical teams are working to fix the problem. However, no detailed information has been provided so far about the source of the problem or when it will be completely resolved. Feedback from users shows that the problems are not limited to a certain region; they affect many content creators globally.
The upload process is not only stuck before it starts, but also in some cases, even if only the title and description of the video are saved, it is stated that the video file has not reached the server. YouTube has not yet provided a temporary solution or a manual upload alternative. Users are waiting for the problem to be resolved in order to share their new content.
