Is there a size limit for a video file that you can upload to YouTube via Zapier?

Hi @Chewy14 

Good question.

SoftTimeLimitExceeded Error

The process of downloading the video (from the origin), and uploading it to YouTube must finish within 180 seconds (three minutes), otherwise, our system will cancel the process. We suggest compressing your video in order for it to be uploaded properly.

@Troy Tessalone Ok thanks for the reply. Is there a specific size that you would say I am safe to have a video in order for it to upload within the 3 minute deadline?
