Comment failed to post как исправить

Просмотр видео на YouTube никогда не бывает полным без комментария к видео. Иногда, когда мы видим действительно интересный контент на YouTube, мы пытаемся его прокомментировать. Однако не каждый раз мы можем публиковать наши комментарии гладко. По какой-то технической проблеме мы получаем сообщение, что наш Не удалось опубликовать комментарий на YouTube. В этом руководстве я объясню, как исправить эту ошибку.

Причиной этой проблемы может быть VPN в браузере или какой-то плагин, установленный на ПК. Если вы заходите на YouTube со своего смартфона, возможно, проблема связана с кешем приложения. Он может быть заполнен временными файлами, что приводит к потреблению памяти. Фактически, на ПК у браузера также может быть такая же проблема с кешем, заполненным ненужными файлами. В приложении для смартфона тоже может быть ошибка. Все это может привести к сбою комментария YouTube до того, как вы его разместите. Я упомянул несколько простых способов устранения этой проблемы. Тогда вы сможете легко писать и публиковать свои комментарии. А теперь перейдем к решению.

Ошибка публикации комментария YouTube: как исправить

Вы можете попробовать любой из этих методов устранения неполадок. Я уверен, что любой из этих способов решит проблему.

Перезагрузите устройство

Один из простых способов устранения неполадок, который вы можете попробовать, — выйти из своей учетной записи YouTube. Затем выключите свое устройство (компьютер или смартфон, который вы используете). Подождите минуту и ​​перезагрузите устройство. Затем войдите в свою учетную запись YouTube.

Теперь идите и посмотрите то же видео на YouTube, которое вы комментировали. Прокомментируйте еще раз, и теперь он должен быть опубликован без каких-либо проблем.

Проверьте подключение к Интернету, если вы не можете опубликовать комментарий на YouTube

Одна из основных проблем, почему комментарий YouTube может не публиковаться, может быть связана с перебоями в работе интернет-сервиса. Итак, вам нужно проверить, работает ли Wi-Fi / LAN или соединение для мобильной передачи данных или нет.

С другой стороны, это не всегда означает, что у вас проблемы с интернет-соединением, если вы не можете опубликовать комментарий на YouTube. Возможно, возникла проблема с сервером YouTube, и он может не работать. Итак, подождите некоторое время, прежде чем повторить попытку комментирования. Обычно проблемы с сервером решаются в короткие сроки.

Вы также можете связаться со своим интернет-провайдером, чтобы узнать, проводится ли какое-либо обслуживание, из-за которого он отключил интернет-соединение. Проверьте другие интернет-зависимые приложения, можете ли вы получить к ним доступ и использовать их.

Очистка кеша приложения YouTube на смартфоне / ПК

На вашей смартфон,

• Идти к Настройки приложение> перейдите к Приложения и уведомления
• Тогда под опцией Посмотреть все приложения прокрутите вниз до YouTube и нажмите на него, чтобы открыть
• Затем нажмите на Хранилище и кэш
  
• Внутри этого нажмите на Очистить кэш

Если вы используете YouTube с нашего ПК, вам необходимо очистить кеш браузера. Вот как это сделать.

Отключить VPN

Виртуальная частная сеть, более известная как VPN, используется для обхода определенных географических сетевых ограничений, установленных некоторыми поставщиками контента. Это означает, что некоторый контент может быть ограничен несколькими регионами мира. Тем не менее, используя VPN, вы можете получить доступ к контенту, если не можете его просмотреть.

Однако YouTube может обнаружить, что вы используете VPN для обхода географических ограничений, установленных для этого конкретного контента. В результате вы не сможете комментировать это видео. Это происходит не каждый раз, но есть вероятность, что это может случиться. Чтобы исправить это, попробуйте отключить VPN. Если страница с контентом строго ограничена несколькими регионами и ваше местоположение исключено, вы не сможете просматривать контент. Страница вылетит.

В качестве альтернативы вы можете попробовать изменить свой VPN-сервер или попробовать использовать любой другой VPN.

Проверьте, не разрешает ли ваш рекламный блок публиковать комментарий YouTube

Если вы используете какое-либо приложение или плагин для блокировки рекламы, возможно, YouTube ограничит вам доступ или использование некоторых из своих функций. Большинство веб-сайтов, которые полагаются на рекламу для ведения своего цифрового бизнеса, делают это для тех систем, в которых они обнаруживают, что рекламный блок используется для обхода рекламы.

Итак, добавьте YouTube в белый список в блокировщике рекламы (бесплатно) или подпишитесь на YouTube Premium, чтобы смотреть видео без рекламы. В противном случае отключите блокировку рекламы, а затем проверьте, не можете ли вы по-прежнему публиковать свои комментарии на YouTube.

То же самое мы можем сказать и о других плагинах или расширениях, которые вы интегрировали в свой веб-браузер. По очереди попробуйте отключить плагины, чтобы проверить, какой именно плагин вызывает эту проблему, и вы не сможете опубликовать свой комментарий к видео на YouTube.

Обновите свое приложение YouTube

Возможно, в текущей версии приложения YouTube есть ошибка, если вы используете его со своего смартфона. Итак, попробуйте обновить версию сборки приложения. Вы можете сделать это на своем устройстве Android и iPhone / iPad. Я сделал то же самое.

За Пользователи Android,

• открыто Магазин игр Приложение> нажмите кнопку гамбургера
• В раскрывающемся меню выберите Мои приложения и игры
• Затем в списке приложений посмотрите, если YouTube здесь.
• Если он там есть, нажмите на Кнопка обновления ты видишь рядом
• Затем приложение закроется само по себе, если оно будет активным после завершения установки обновления.
• Перезапустите приложение и попробуйте разместить свой комментарий под видео на YouTube. Он должен работать.

Пользователи iOS / iPadOS,

• Открыть Магазин приложений приложение
• Нажмите на свой изображение профиля вашей учетной записи Apple в правом верхнем углу
• Затем прокрутите вниз, чтобы увидеть, какие приложения ждут установки нового обновления.
• Если YouTube есть в потерянном тапе на Обновить вариант рядом с ним.

Итак, вот и все о том, как решить проблему, если вы не можете публиковать комментарии YouTube к любому видео. Теперь вы сможете без проблем комментировать свои любимые видео на YouTube. Надеюсь, что это руководство было информативным.

You may fail to comment on YouTube videos due to interference by your adblocking extension or a VPN. Moreover, the auto-generated YouTube user name may also stop you from posting comments on YouTube videos.

The affected user gets the error with a little circling icon when he tries to post a comment/reply of a comment on a YouTube video. In some cases, the user encounters the error when he tries to edit a posted comment/reply, and the published comment vanishes. Some users cannot see the comment after refreshing the page. This issue is not specific to a particular platform i.e. it can occur on Windows, Mac, or mobile devices.

In some rare occurrences, users face this error just on a single channel (whereas they can post normally on other channels). Some of the affected users were able to comment on live streams but not on the videos.

Before proceeding with the troubleshooting process, make sure you are using an updated version of the browser/app. Moreover, refresh the page continuously for 5 to 6 times and then try to post the comment. Also, relaunch the browser and then try to post the comment. Furthermore, launch the video directly when you want to post a comment (not through the notifications). Additionally, you can try another YouTube account in a new browser to rule out any browser/account issues. Also, make a habit of not commenting more than 2 or 3 comments on a single video.

Also, you must keep in mind that YouTube is continuously changing its policies to curb spam. If you are being suspected of spam, for example sharing URLs in your comments, posting the same comment on every video, or if you are posting comments continuously without any time gap, you may fail to post comments on YouTube.

Moreover, video uploaders also apply different settings about what can be posted in comments e.g. if a content creator has enabled the setting of only approve comments can be posted to a video, and your comment is not approved by the video uploader, then it will not be visible to others (but maybe shown to you).

Solution 1: Disable Your Adblocking Extension

You may not like Ads, but ads are the essential source of income for YouTube and that is why YouTube does not “like” Adblocking extensions. You may encounter the error at hand if you are using an adblocking extension. In this scenario, either disabling the extension or whitelisting YouTube in the settings of your adblocking extension may solve the problem. For illustration, we will discuss the process for Chrome.

1. Open the Chrome browser and click on Vertical Ellipses (3 vertical dots) near the top right corner of the windows.
2. Now hover over More Tools and then in the sub-menu shown, click on Extensions.
3. Now find and disable Adblock extension.
4. Then open the YouTube website and check if it is clear of the error.
5. You can also whitelist the website in your adblocking extension.

Solution 2: Disable Your VPN Client/Extension

It is a common norm in the IT industry to use VPN to bypass restrictions imposed by ISPs or sites. Moreover, VPN provides a great opportunity for a user to save his privacy from prying eyes. You may encounter the error under discussion (especially in case of a mobile app) if you are using a VPN client/extension to access YouTube because sites like YouTube or Netflix discourage the use of it. In this scenario, disabling the VPN client may solve the problem.

1. Disable your VPN client or browser extension.
2. Now launch browser/mobile app and check if you can post a comment of a YouTube video.

Solution 3: Re-Login to the YouTube Site

Cookies are used by sites to store client/server communications. A corrupt cookie can cause a lot of issues. The issue at hand could also be a result of a temporary glitch or corrupt cookie of the site. In this case, signing out and then signing back into the site may solve the problem. You can also try incognito/private mode.

1. Open your browser and navigate to the YouTube website.
2. Now, click on the user icon (near the top right corner of the window) and then click on Sign Out.
3. Now close your browser and restart your system.

Solution 4: Change the Username for YouTube

There is a glitch on YouTube, in which, if the user name is auto-generated by the website, e.g., if your email ID is being used as the username, then you may encounter the error under discussion. In this scenario, changing your username may solve the problem.

1. Change your username for YouTube.
2. Then check if you can post comments on the YouTube videos.

Solution 5: Post the Comment after Playing the Video for Some Time

YouTube is making continuous efforts to stop spammers from posting comments. One such step is stopping the user from posting the comment on a video if the video was not played or played for just a few seconds. In this context, playing the video for at least one minute, and then posting the comment may solve the problem.

1. Open YouTube and play the problematic video.
2. Now let the video play for at least one minute (no forwarding) and then check if you can post the comment (without pausing the video).
3. If not, try to pause the video exactly at the time when you want to make the comment and then check if you can post the comment.

Solution 6: Try Another Browser

Every browser has its share of bugs. The issue you are encountering could be due to a temporary bug of the browser. In this context, using another browser to comment on the YouTube video may solve the problem.

1. Download and install another browser (if not installed already).
2. Now launch the newly installed browser and check if you can comment on YouTube video. For example, if you are having issues with Firefox, then try to use Chrome.

Solution 7: Try Another Platform

Along with the web version, YouTube can be accessed with the Andriod and iPhone applications. The current issue could be platform-specific e.g. the issue could be just on the web version of Windows. In this context, trying another platform to post comments on YouTube videos may solve the issue.

1. If you are encountering the issue on a browser, then try a mobile app (Android app or iPhone app).
2. If you are encountering the issue on a mobile app, then try the web version of YouTube.

For Mobile Applications:

Solution 1: Enable/Disable the Dark Theme of YouTube Mobile App

There is a reported bug in the YouTube mobile app, in which, dark mode (enabled or disabled) impacts a user’s ability to comment on the videos. In this context, enabling (or disabling) the dark mode may solve the problem.

1. Open the YouTube mobile app and start playing a video (or problematic video).
2. Now while playing the video, hit the back button (which will bring out your home screen, whereas the video is being played in minimized state at the bottom of the screen).
3. Now tap on the user icon (near the top right corner of the video).
4. Then tap on Settings.
5. Now tap on General and then Enable (or Disable) the Dark Theme.
6. Now go back to the home screen.
7. Now tap on the minimized video and then tap on the play button to play the video.
8. Now tap on Comments and add a public comment to check if the problem is sorted out.

Solution 2: Reinstall the YouTube Mobile App

If you are encountering the issue on a mobile device, then most probably the corrupt installation of the YouTube application is causing the issue. In this scenario, uninstalling and then reinstalling the application may solve the issue. For illustration, we will discuss the process for the Android app.

1. Open Settings of your phone.
2. Now tap on Apps/Application Manager.
3. Now tap on YouTube and then tap on Uninstall.
4. After uninstalling the app, restart your device.
5. Upon restart, reinstall the YouTube app and check if it is clear of the error.
6. If there is no uninstall option available at step 4, then Force Stop the app and then tap on Storage.
7. Now Clear Cache and then Clear Data of the application.
8. Then tap on the back button.

Before going any further  I would like to add.  Make sure do not to repeat the same comments in every other video.  Otherwise, your comments will be considered spam and will be automatically removed from YouTube.

Try not to use inappropriate words as YouTube content creators filter them out.  You should be following the YouTube comment guidelines & policies.  Do not use too many URLs in the comments. You must do your best to comply with them. 

The next thing would be to check that you have entered your age in your YouTube account.  Maybe you are using the kid version of YouTube.  If that is the case you will have limited features.

Use different devices and try to comment.  And if the comment is posted on the other device. Then there is a problem with your device you were using earlier. You can also use any other youtube account and try if it solves the problem.

If you are having a problem with your mobile app either Android or iOS.  Then jump Street right to the section where I have written about the solution for mobile apps.  The solution below is mostly for browsers.

Play the video halfway

Do not post comments just at the beginning of the video. Make sure to watch the video at least Halfway or until the end. Doing a comment at the beginning of the video can be considered as some suspicious activity. 

Refresh or replay the video

The comment can also fail to post if you have slow internet connectivity. All the web page features may not be fully loaded. In that case, replay the video or refresh the page. And try to do it again 

Try commenting on other YouTube video

Play some other video instead and try commenting on those. And if your comment was posted successfully. Then something is wrong with that video. Either the comment feature is disabled or it is consisting too many Spammy comments.

This can rarely happen but still you should give it a try. Before you go to the another step.

• Clear browsing data
• Select cookies and cached files
• And finally clear data

Deactivate VPN services

If you are using any VPN services. Doesn’t matter if it is enabled in your browser. Or you are using any third-party VPN software.  The reason why I mentioned it is because YouTube has different versions for different countries.

And it is strictly recommended to not use and VPN or proxy while using these platforms. Not every video is available in all countries.

So if you are using VPN to watch different versions of YouTube other than your country. Then it might be the reason why you can’t post any comments. Try to stop it and check if it is working.

Try another browser

See if your browser is working properly. Keep your browser updated. Do not use any outdated browser in general. It can also be the reason why your comment failed to post. Use any other browser other than your usual Browser. And try again.

All the most popular web browsers are equipped with these features. To protect your privacy. You can add exceptions in the settings, not to block YouTube. As content creators rely on these ads for income.

Try disabling all extension

Check whether your browser is having any unnecessary extensions. If you have plenty of extensions installed on your web browser. Then check them one by one which one is causing the problem.

You will find the extension on the Chrome browser right below the clear browser data. Extensions can also be the reason why YouTube didn’t post your comment.

Sign in again

And the last step would be to sign out from your account. Make sure your account is working fine. And then again sign in and try it once again. Not to mention if you have already clear your cookies and cache.

Then chances are you will be log out from most websites. But still, you are logged in to youtube. Then sign in again.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can clear cached images and files:

1. Tap on the triple-dots icon on the right corner of your screen.
2. Hover your cursor over “More tools”.
3. Click on “Clear browsing data”.
4. Tick “Cached images and files”.
5. Click on “Clear data” to clear cached images and files.

After you cleared your browser’s cache, go back to YouTube and try posting a comment again.

You should be able to post a comment without getting any errors.

Do note that you may need to sign in to YouTube again after clearing your cache.

Alternative solutions

If you can’t comment on a desktop, you can try posting your comment using the YouTube app instead.

You can also reply to comments using the YouTube Creator Studio app.

Reply to comments using the YouTube/YouTube Creator Studio app on your mobile device instead of a desktop.

The “Comment failed to post” error is known to occur if you’re using YouTube on a desktop.

If you’re using the YouTube app, it’ll mitigate the error from happening.

If you want to reply to the comments in your videos, you can do so from the YouTube Creator Studio App.

Here’s how you can reply to comments using the YouTube Creator Studio app:

1. Download the YouTube Creator Studio app on the App Store/Google Play Store.
2. Sign in to your YouTube account.
3. Tap on “Comments”.
4. Select the comment that you want to reply to.
5. Type your reply under “Add a reply…”.

If you’re replying to comments via the YouTube Creator Studio app, you won’t get the “Comment failed to post” error message.

Conclusion

If you can’t post a comment on YouTube, it’s most likely because of a paused ad.

So the next time you’re unable to post a comment, try skipping the ad first.

However, if you still can’t post a comment, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies.

I hope that this article helped you to fix the “Comment failed to post” error on YouTube.

If you want to prevent the error from ever happening again, be sure to skip the ad on a video before posting a comment.
