Troubleshooting tips for uploading your videos (🧵):

• If you're allowlisted to upload video, both the mobile and the browser clients will let you select .mp4 and .mov files

• If the upload hangs, it’s a filetype/codec issue and you need to reencode  the video (handbrake.fr is free and open-source)

*2/5 (Updated):

• You can test with a video shot from your phone, as that will definitely be a compatible filetype/codec for Farcaster

• Having a Power Badge automatically gives you access to video upload. More info about the Power Badge:

4/5 (Updated):

• For Farcasters outside of the US, you *might* run into a bug that you won't be able to upload video; try connecting through a VPN to a US-based server. https://protonvpn.com/ (the same people behind Proton Mail) is private, secure, and has a free tier.

• Sometimes people lose video access or run into other weirdness. Sometimes it's a bug, sometimes it's other reasons.

• Describe your issue in /warpcast, because that channel is intended for bug reports/issues/support and the Farcaster team watches it regularly. Bump @dwr.eth or @v if needed.

• If you just got your shiny new Power Badge, you may need to update your mobile app and/or force-quit + restart the app for the change in your video allowlist status to be reflected on your end.
