What to do when a large upload stops

A long video is not sent as one unbroken request. Playbob moves it in pieces so a large file can finish on an ordinary connection. When a piece fails, the upload stops and the watch link is not created. Nothing is published halfway.

Check the limit before you retry

The upload area shows the maximum file size for the account you are using. A file over that size will fail even if the connection is perfect. Storage space works the same way: if the remaining space is smaller than the file, the upload is refused with a message about space.

Leave the tab open while the pieces are moving. Closing the laptop, switching networks, or letting the browser sleep is the usual reason a large upload stops near the end. The file on your computer is unchanged, so you can start again from the beginning when the connection is steady.

• Confirm size and remaining storage first.
• Keep the browser tab open until the upload completes.
• Retry only after a failed piece, not while another upload of the same file is still running.
