stuck at 0% processing
Uploaded to Stream an MP4 video created in Skype for Business, size about 146MB, length about 40 minutes, upload was successful but processing did not proceed beyond 0% after a long wait/leaving to do other tasks.
Took this MP4 video and re-encoded it using Handbrake, this resulted in a smaller file (40MB in size). Upload was successful, but again stuck at 0% processing.
Took another random MP4 video, size is 47MB, 10 minutes long, uploads fine but again stuck at 0% processing.
Other things tried: delete video and try again, publish
Help me determine if I am the problem or Stream is the Problem.
Thank you,
M
That seems a bit longer than normal, but not outside the realm of possblity, depending on how much other traffic is going in the data center you are connected to.

I have also faced the same error before. I contact the MS Stream support team. They helped me to overcome this error. I raise a ticket on the official Microsoft website. They helped me with the issue. I would recommend you to do the same. This error generally occurs when there is a bug in MS Stream. This can be corrected from their end only. I hope my answer is helpful to you!

Lewis-H This is wonderful news, thank you for your feedback. I hope others find it helpful, too!

Lewis-H thanks for sharing. I just came here to add my voice to the pile of others who are having this issue.
Sounds like MS needs to improve how Stream handles bulk imports. As anyone transitioning to this product will no doubt hit this frustrating wall.
Do any product members hang around this forum?
- Max DonnerBrass ContributorAlexH980 Maybe Dwyane George can help? I see they are a regular in the Stream Service Updates forum.

Max Donner this seems to still be an issue. Yesterday's 2 minute video never did process. Stream timed out overnight. I was able to come in this morning and delete and upload the video several times and finally it processed and we were able to view it. Today, we are again stalled out at 0%. I wish there was a way for me know if we are doing something wrong or if there is a problem with our connection or an issue with Stream. It is very frustrating! I would greatly appreciate any tips or hints on this issue. Thank you!

shannonann66 Wish I could help. My take is that whatever server farm Microsoft Stream lives on, it can't always handle the load.
For all who are affected, it may be good to open up a support case through the O365 admin portal- even if it only happens once. I imagine enough cases opened would create incentive for them to look at it more closely.

Having the same issue. Thought it was me. I'm trying to start a web series at work and everything has been a battle. Hopefully the war is over soon. Stuck on 0% i hope Microsoft fixes this issue.

Matt Piscatelli I'm experiencing the same issue and the irony is that the video I'm uploading is announcing a training session to talk about how to use Microsoft Stream. #meta

I am experiencing the same issue today - thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences. At least I know I am not alone in the very long wait for processing to complete.
- MariaFelicianoCesteroCopper ContributorThe problem remains. The videos my daughter uploads for her school assignments take a week to process.
- Scott TupperIron ContributorNot sure what the problem is. I just uploaded a 2 1/2 hour video yesterday, and while it took most of the day to upload and process, it works fine. can you explain the specifics of your video? File size, format is it an mp4, where is it being uploaded from?
- Brent_EllisonCopper Contributor
Thanks for posting this - I was wondering this same thing. It has been at 0% for me for about 20 minutes on a ~140MB video file. Just seems like I did something wrong. Hoping I will get the same favorable result eventually, so I appreciate the post.
- LexHawkCopper Contributor
Brent_EllisonI think the problem is with Stream. I've also been trying to add the same video for three hours now. It uploads successfully, but never progresses, stuck at 'Processing... 0%'. Don't know why they have to process a video that's already h.264 with aac audio anyway, which is the standard web format. Hey, someone at Microsoft, please restart the encoding process on the server!
- Brent_EllisonCopper Contributor
LexHawk Mine did complete - took about 30 minutes and then it was working. In my case, there just wasn't any progress indicator, so it looked hung at 0%. I think it would be better if it said something else - no percentage indicator and something like - may take some time to process or something instead, so you know it is working but not providing a measurement. Anyways, all good now in my case. They were MP4's.

I'm glad this thread continues to be useful to other people!
- BelleQCopper ContributorI have same issue, I've been waiting for 1 hour and half

Shortly after I completed documenting this problem, it began processing. It appears that processing does function, albeit after a long delay. Any idea as to cause of delay? I will tell users to upload the video then give it more time.
- Marc MrozMicrosoftIt does take some time to process videos depending on load of the system. About how long did you end up waiting before it was ready or you got the email?
- Max DonnerBrass ContributorThanks for responding Marc. The wait time was approximately 20 minutes.

We are having this issue as well
- Frank-ACopper Contributor
Having the same issue today. It's not the first time its happened and its very frustrating.
- Jarod_of_NZCopper Contributor
Same for me when I tried today. Tried to upload a bunch of smallish mp4's (30-80MBs) and some were ok but most were sitting at this status:
Give us a few more minutesThis video is still being processedGuess I need to find out how to contact MS (as per the previous posts stating we need to contact them to do something).
Hope I don't have to do that everytime I need to upload videos.

I apologize for the late response and lack of detail in my past post. I believe the most direct method for contacting support is this:

- mpdouglasCopper ContributorSame for me. Have deleted and re-tried a couple of times, to no avail. Latest attempt with ~5MB file has been at 0% for over an hour. Has worked fine all week. Ive been perfecting the workflow for getting our CEO weekly video out to all staff and the day before the big reveal, it stops working! Aggghhh!
- Max DonnerBrass Contributormpdouglas Of course this decides to break when working on a project for the CEO! I suggest you submit a support ticket for this asap-

-though I imagine MS cloud infrastructure is currently being hammered by increased Internet use as a result of COVID-19.
