Check for Network Connection
While uploading videos to Facebook, you need to make sure that your computer or mobile phone is connected to stable or available network or you won't be able to complete the uploading process successfully. Then what can you do to inspect the network connection? We have several suggestions for you.
1. Check network connection on iPhone/Android
- Check the signal of the network: You can simply view the signal of the connected Wi-fi or phone data on your phone screen. If you find that the signal of the Wi-fi or cellular data is very weak, that means the uploading failure is very likely caused by the poor network connection and you need to take actions.
- Re-enable the Wi-fi or phone data: Just swipe down or up your phone screen to enter the notification center and then find out the icon of Wi-fi or cellular data. Next, you can tap on the icon to turn the feature off. After a few minutes, you can click on the icon once again to re-enable the Wi-fi or phone data.
- Connect to another Wi-fi: It is possible that the Wi-fi you are connecting is invalid so you can try to link your phone to other available wireless network. You can go to Settings> Wi-fi to add the new network to your phone and try to upload the videos again.
- Reset network settings: If the network connection is still very weak after you try out all the methods above, you can attempt to reset the network settings on your phone.
For Android phone users, you need to navigate to Settings> Backup & Reset> Reset Network Settings and then tap on Reset Settings to confirm your option.
For iPhone users, you should go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings.
After the resetting, all the networks that are saved on your phone will be erased so you need to re-add some usable networks to your iPhone or Android phone and then you can upload your videos to Facebook to check whether the problem is fixed or not.
Convert Video Format
Before uploading videos to Facebook, you need to know one thing- Facebook has video format requirements so no all the videos can be uploaded to the service. Here, the videos that you want to upload to Facebook should meet the requirements as below:
1. Supported video formats: 3g2, 3gp, 3gpp, asf, dat, divx, dv, f4v, flv, gif, m2ts, m4v, mkv, mod, mov, mp4, mpe, mpeg, mpeg4, mpg, mts, nsv, ogm, ogv, qt, tod, ts, vob and wmv.
2. The length and size: The maximum length of the video is 120 minutes and size of the video should not be more than 4GB.
3. Resolution: The video dimensions are in multiples of 16px and the large side of the video must be less than 1280px.
4. Frame rate: The frame rate is better to be kept between 25-30fps or your video would be inferior.
5. Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio must be within the scope of 9*16 to 16*9.
Now you can go to check if the video that you are going to upload can meet all the requirements above. If not, you need to covert the video into the supported format first and then upload the converted video to Facebook.
