    "I've just put some videos on Youtube - they are "processing will begin shortly" - how long do I wait for the next step ?"

    That's not what your opening post says?

    From Google:-

    YouTube typically allows users to upload between 10 and 15 videos per day

    ; if the account is not fully verified or lacks advanced features, the limit may be stricter. Accounts that have completed higher levels of verification can upload up to 100 videos per day.

    Plenty of AI slop channels have appeared which have uploaded thousands of stolen videos in a very short space of time.

    Someone asked what is the audio because their content match system can be very hard hitting. I uploaded a short video clip
    of a game because I found some bugs. In the game the cars have radio's and even though the radio sound level was so low
    that I could not hear it at normal playing levels their system detected the audio and flagged it as potentially copyright
    infringing.

    My volume is normally only on 8 on windows and I had to turn it up to almost 60 to hear the cars radio, so their system
    is super sensitive. It gave me the option of stripping that audio from the video file which I selected because the sound
    was not important anyway.

    Maybe it's logged the filenames are the same and that you tried uploading mp3's and not video? When YT was first
    released many including myself used it as file storage by renaming files to video formats but then it started checking
    files to make sure they were actually video. Have you added video to your file even just a static logo image seems
    to work.

    I have converted MP3 s to MP4 s Since I was unable to upload MP3s

    Was that not what I should have done ?

    They are still sitting there "Processing will begin shortly"

    How do I contact youtube ? - there's no "contact us email"


    If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    What video have you got associated with the files? Simply uploading an audio file to YT without accompanying video is unlikely to be accepted.

    You need to make it a video not just change mp3 to mp4. Add a video stream even if it's a static image.

    What about the content is it going to get flagged for copyright?
