Fix Youtube Server Rejected Video File While Uploading

Recently when I was trying to upload a video file on my youtube channel, I got some error saying “The server has rejected the file. Please follow these steps and upload the file again.” on the youtube interface while uploading and the error was that server has rejected the file and then you need to re upload it, but some users noticed that server was rejecting the file every time they tried to upload.

Such youtube issues may occur certain types of youtube files of certain extensions  and it may happen with youtube video in which title of the youtube video has some special characters or words which are not accepted on youtube as per the community guidelines.

Video Got Rejected Due to File Type Not Supported

Youtube actually supports a wide variety of the range of video and audio formats as mentioned below, so please make sure that your video has on of the following extensions for video file.

• WebM files – Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codecs
• .MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files – Typically supporting h264, mpeg4 video codecs, and AAC audio codec
• .AVI – Many cameras output this format – typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM
• .MPEGPS – Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio
• .WMV
• .FLV – Adobe-FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio

If your video extension is supported by youtube but you are still facing the issue then make sure the video is playing in the any video player on your computer without any issues or lag as wrong or invalid or corrupted video could also be responsible for the same.
