How To Pause Youtube Uploading

UPDATE: THIS METHOD NO LONGER WORKS 🙁

I've been recently just uploaded the first Part of my Australia Trip vlog mail (check it out here), and one of the challenges I had was the suuuuper long upload time. It as a 15 minute long video, and several of the footages were shot in 4K, and so it only made sense for it to take several hours to upload on Youtube.

Now if you've also been uploading Youtube videos, y'all'll know by at present that at that place isn't really a "Pause" button in the upload page. There's only the "Publish" push button, and that little "ten" mark at the end of the progress bar, which obviously would abolish the whole affair.

Trouble was, I needed to terminate my upload because I needed to bring my laptop to work. Is there a style to simply pause the upload progress, so get back to information technology subsequently and resume the Youtube video upload, without going back to naught?

I did a little fleck of enquiry and obviously, despite the missing pause push, in that location is a way to resume Youtube videos where you left off. Here's how:

How to Pause Youtube Upload

While uploading, click on the "x" button at the cease of the progress bar.
There'll exist a pop-up notice asking if you lot really want to cancel upload. Click on "Abolish Upload" (don't worry, just become ahead and click it!).
When y'all're gear up to go on your upload, simple go to the upload page, and so upload the same video file. Make sure that the file is saved on the same folder/location, as when you starting time uploaded it (this is important!).
The progress bar will say "UPLOAD PENDING…", Subsequently some time (depending on the size of your file), the progress will resume starting from the same percentage, where you left it off earlier cancelling!

This saved me from a lot of hassle that comes with uploading huge video files. However, I've read somewhere that you accept to resume uploading within 24 hours in social club for this to work. Otherwise, upload will go all the way dorsum to 0%. I haven't confirmed this yet but I'd rather not risk losing all that progress.

I hope this helps! While you're at it, please check out the vlog I uploaded in my aqueduct below. And oh, please SUBSCRIBE! I need them subscribers.
