Struggling to Upload Videos on Tumblr? Let’s Figure This Out Together!
Are you tired of staring at a black screen while trying to upload videos on Tumblr? Well, don’t worry! You’re definitely not alone in this dark abyss of frustration. Many users face similar issues, but here are some tips and tricks to help you get those videos uploaded and rocking your Tumblr, so let’s dive right in!
1. Clear Your Browser Cache and Cookies
First things first, let’s tackle that browser. It could be hoarding a mountain of cookies and cache like it’s Thanksgiving every day. Clearing your browser cache and cookies can help resolve various loading issues, including video uploads. Here’s how to do it:
- For Chrome: Go to the top-right corner and hit those three vertical dots ➞ ‘More Tools’ ➞ ‘Clear Browsing Data.’ Check cache and cookies and click ‘Clear Data.’
- For Firefox: Click the three horizontal lines on the top right ➞ ‘Options’ ➞ ‘Privacy & Security’ ➞ under ‘Cookies and Site Data,’ click ‘Clear Data.’
Alternatively, you can try incognito mode. This opens a clean slate, free from accumulated clutter, and allows you to test if the issue persists. Trust me, it’s like spring cleaning for your browser but way less boring!
2. Disable Your Adblocker
Next on the list—you guessed it—your adblocker. Sometimes these knight-in-shining-armor extensions turn out to be the uninvited guests at the party. Temporarily disable your adblocker and see if it’s the sneaky culprit causing the upload chaos.
Remember that adblockers and filter lists change faster than your high school crush’s moods, so there’s a chance it could be blocking something it shouldn’t. A quick disable-and-retest could save you a lot of heartache.
3. Try Different Domains
Ah, the joy of experimenting! Did you know that Tumblr has a variety of international domains? If you’re struggling, switch it up and try using a different domain, like .pl, .to, or .gs. Sometimes, a simple change in scenery can do wonders!
4. Contact Tumblr Support
If the black screen continues to haunt you like a bad dream, it may be time to face Tumblr’s support team. Many users find success after reaching out, as I did when I was stuck. They helped remove whatever was causing my video to get stuck in processing mode. After their intervention, I re-uploaded the video, and voila—it went through seamlessly!
But don’t make this the last page in your saga just yet; always remember that checking your video file format and size is crucial since these can also contribute to upload failures. Stick to formats supported by Tumblr, like .mp4 and .mov, and keep your file sizes within their limits.
So, there you have it! Follow these steps, and soon enough, your videos will be strutting their stuff on your Tumblr page instead of lurking in the shadows.
