Why Won’t My Video Upload to Instagram?

Trying to upload a video to Instagram but it shows you an error message?

Many Instagram users experience this issue and it may not be due to a network issue.

It’s annoying to get an error when you’re trying to upload a video to Instagram.

This article explains why you’re having trouble uploading and how to fix it.

Why isn’t my video uploading to Instagram?

Your video won’t upload to Instagram because the file format is wrong or your connection is poor.

This is what happens if you try and upload a video with the wrong file format.

Firstly, when you try and upload the video, it takes a while to load.

Then you will most likely get this error message, “We will try again when we have a better connection”.

This is annoying because your video will be copied in your camera roll.

When upload fails, there will be a second video in your camera roll as it will save the video.

How to fix: Why won’t my Video upload to Instagram?

So how do you fix your videos not uploading?

To fix the error, you will have to convert your video format from h.264 to h.265.

To upload your video to Instagram, you need to change the format of the video from h.264 to h.265 using a converter.

The usual video format is h.264. However, if you’re trying to upload a video to Instagram, it should be h.265.

Just do a Google search for “convert h.264 to h.265” or “convert video to h.265”.

There are many free online video converters that you don’t have to pay to use.

Click on any video converter on the first page of Google.

Then drag and drop or select your video file into the converter.

After the video has finished converting, download and rename it.

Finally, save it to a folder of your choice.

Close the converter once you’re done and your video will be ready to upload to Instagram.

Typically, you’ll want to convert videos using your desktop computer, not your mobile device.

Convert your video format to h.265 on your desktop on Google with the free converter, then transfer it back to your mobile device.

So you will need to transfer your video from mobile to desktop.

To do that, you can send it via airdrop (if you’re using an iPhone), text or email it to yourself.

After you finish converting the video, you can transfer it back to your mobile device.

Then go back to Instagram and delete the video that failed to upload.

Upload the converted video that you have saved on your device.

It will take some time to upload; but you shouldn’t worry because it will work almost every time.

The video will be able to upload because it is now in a format suitable for Instagram.

Why are my videos taking so long to upload to Instagram?

If your videos take a long time to upload to Instagram, it’s most likely due to your internet speed.

To know the speed of your internet connection, you can download a speed test app on the App Store or Google Play Store.

Below is a comparison table of different upload speeds and their ratings.

If your upload speed is 25 Mbps to 100 Mbps, you can expect longer upload times on Instagram.

However, if your upload speed is above 100 Mbps, uploading videos to Instagram will be much faster.

Why does Instagram say my videos are too short?

Another error message you may receive when trying to upload a video to Instagram is that the video is too short.

Instagram says your video is too short because it doesn’t meet the minimum video length requirement of 3 seconds.

Minimum video length on Instagram: 3 seconds

The minimum video length you can upload to Instagram is 3 seconds.

If your video is less than 3 seconds long, Instagram will prevent it from being uploaded.

To increase the length of the video, you can edit the video in slow motion.

Still can’t upload your videos to Instagram?

If you still can’t upload your videos to Instagram, you need to switch to a better network or use a different mobile device.

If you still can’t upload your video to Instagram after converting, here’s what you need to do.

First, check your internet speed. If your upload speed is too low (less than 25 Mbps), your video may not be able to upload.

If that’s the case, you should try switching from WiFi to 4G and vice versa.

As a last resort, try using another device to upload your videos.

This is because Instagram may not support older devices due to their constant updates.

Conclusion

If your video doesn’t upload to Instagram, it could be because of a bad internet connection or your video is in the wrong format.

Most of the time, your video might be in the wrong file format (h.264) and you will have to convert it to h.265 in order to upload it to Instagram successfully.

However, if your video still won’t upload, check your internet speed. Your video may not be able to upload because your upload speed is too slow.
