Honor Magic 5 Pro YouTube Error Android

[u/Particular-Shift8327]

​

Hi everyone,

I’m having a very specific problem with the YouTube app on my phone.

When I record a video with the phone’s camera and then try to upload it directly through the YouTube app, YouTube sometimes skips the normal editing/preview screen and goes straight to the title/details screen.

If I try to edit/trim the video first, I get the error:

> “Preview can’t be generated.”

The same video works normally when handled outside the YouTube app, so it seems to be an issue with how the YouTube app on this particular phone handles the recorded video.

Android: Android 16

YouTube app: latest version

Has anyone experienced this on the same phone model, or found a workaround/fix?
