YouTube constantly updates their video processing and resolution systems, which sometimes affects our ability to download videos from their links. While most users aren't experiencing any changes, some are seeing temporary differences in how videos are processed.
 
As we wait for YouTube to complete their updates, here's what you can do in the meantime:
 
Option 1: Upload directly from your computer 
If you have the original video file saved on your computer, you can upload it directly to Sermon Shots using the upload From this Device option.
 
Option 2: Download from YouTube first, then upload
  1. Go to YouTube Studio
  2. Find your video in the Content section
  3. Click the three-dot menu next to your video
  4. Select "Download" to save it to your computer
  5. Then upload the file through "Upload from Computer" in Sermon Shots
Here's a quick video that shows you how: How to download your own video from YouTube and Facebook 
 
These temporary YouTube changes usually resolve themselves within a few days.
 
If you need any help with this process or have more questions, please contact support.
