Why can't I upload a video from my Samsung S6 on YouTube?

[AC Question]

Can't upload a video from Samsung S6 on youtube!

When I try to upload a video to Youtube from my Samsung s6 it doesn't work! I get Upload Pending. Nothing happens!

The same thing happens when I try to upload a video on Youtube from my computer. These are relatively small files - 10 - 15 minutes each!

At least when I upload videos from my computer it starts uploading very slowly, says it will take 2-3 hours, and stops at 16%.

Please HELP!!!

Re: Can't upload a video from Samsung S6 on youtube!

Welcome to Android Central! When you try to upload on your phone, are you connected to the same wi-fi that you're computer is using? Or are you using your mobile data connection? Upload speeds are typically much slower than download speeds, and if your connection is relatively slow, it can cause problems with successful uploads. What happens if you connect your phone to a reliably fast public wi-fi (like your local Starbucks that provides Google wi-fi), and upload there?
