Below are the reasons why you may be having trouble uploading videos on the Facebook app.

Not all video formats are unloadable, and, although rare, your videos may be in an incompatible format depending on your device.

The most common would be mp4, but do check your video file format.

Even if the video file is in a compatible format, it may not be uploaded if the size is too large.

The video’s must be less than 20 minutes and under 1GB if uploading from a laptop and 100MB if uploading from a smartphone.

You may not be able to upload a video if your device is running low on free storage space.

Even if you were able to upload the video, the performance will be affected and the procedure will take longer.

The problem lies within the app if you were able to upload via the web browser where you couldn’t on the app.

If you are unable to upload from both the app as well as the web browser, then the problem lies with Facebook.

Below are the solutions to not being able to post videos on the Facebook app.

Problems with Facebook will be temporary issues.

You should let some time pass before restarting the app and trying to upload the video again.

If you are still unable to upload the video, or if there are other issues, the best thing to do would be to contact customer services.
