How can I fix the Invalid request video was rejected error?
1. Enable HTML5 video player on the YouTube website
Until some time ago, Flash Player was mainly used to play YouTube videos. In the meantime, however, it has been replaced by the modern HTML5 video player. As a result, browsers can have problems with certain YouTube videos if the newer standard is not yet integrated.
2. Refresh your browser
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
You should always check that you are using the latest version of your web browser. If not, then you should probably update it. Follow the steps above to ensure that your browser is up to date.
3. Don’t log into a different YouTube account while uploading
You’ll only need to upload the video again and make sure that you’re not logging into a different Google account while the uploading of the video is in progress. Note: Keep in mind that logging into a different YouTube account from an incognito tab or a different browser will produce the same error since Google will still see the same IP.
4. Delete browser cookies and cache
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
So-called cookies and the cache buffer can also cause problems that slow down YouTube. Therefore, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies to fix the problems. You can then check again to see if YouTube is working properly again. If you have any more questions or suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
