Discord Video not Working
It’s really annoying when discord videos are not working or discord upload failed.
You also need to make sure that you are sharing the server with the recipient, did not disable direct messages on your server, or are not blocked by the server.
This can be because of many reasons, few major causes that I found was
- Internet Connection
- Discord server region
- Videos above discord file size limit
Before proceeding you need to make sure what exactly the problem you are facing, do your video exceed the discord limit or a normal video below 8 MB upload gets failed.
Please perform the below solutions to get rid of this problem.
Solution 1:- Videos above Discord File size limit
If you are trying to upload any videos above 8 MB in Discord, you won’t be getting any further options as this exceeds the limit.
Try the above method of how you can send videos above 8 MB and how to send videos that go above 60 seconds by using handbrake.
Solution 2:- Bad internet connection
If you are not getting proper ping from the Internet or there is a lot of breakage in the connection probably discord video upload will be failed.
If there is a lag in discord it means there is a high ping. What you can do is
- Visit speed test to check your internet speed and ping, if the ping is above 8 or if there is a lot of fluctuation you must contact your internet service provider.
- Try VPN connection
- Be close to the router, if you are connected with a Wi-Fi connection.
Solution 3:- Discord Server Region
For many discord users, this method worked where they simply changed the discord server location and their problem was resolved.
Probably you changed your physical location or accidentally your discord server region changed to some other region and this cause to high ping.
Visit the Discord server location to see how you can change the location and benefits of changing the location to the closest server.
