I have a 6 minute long video, how is there a way to upload it to Facebook or YouTube, when I get an error message saying the video is too big?

What is saying it's too big? An app? The share button in the gallery/camera? The browser? Your email?

I haven't seen this error, you should try uploading through using the dedicated apps for those programs.

Anyone know of size or format restrictions for mobile uploading to Youtube or Facebook?

I have received the same message and I am sending to youtube via the share button..........

also it takes a long time to send videos.

I took a video and sent it and it took over 24 hrs for it to get to youtube.the video was only 38 seconds long..I tried sending to facebook but the videos wont go I have to send them to youtube first then share to fb..

I dont have any trouble sending pix directly to fb 

can anyone tell me why it took so long and also how can I just share videos straight to fb

When I go to share a video to Youtube, I get a message telling me that large video files will be sent over WiFi.  The upload will sit on the phone "waiting" till I connect to WiFi.  It takes a few minutes (for short HD recordings), but seems to work for me with no problems.  Are you using WiFi, or attempting to do this on 3G?

 

As far as Facebook goes, have you tried sending to Facebook using the mobile email address they give you?  Then the only restriction would be your email's restriction on file attachment sizes.

 

Have you tried going through your browser and uploading it straight to the site that way?
