good day @SenghourMey
I would avoid passing the full file through one simple upload request. The safer workaround is to use resumable/chunked upload via HTTP Request nodes, or first upload the video to a public/storage URL and then send that URL to Facebook/YouTube where supported. Also share your current workflow, file size, source location, and exact error so people can suggest the right API flow.

@SenghourMey Could you share the actual error message and the workflow JSON/export?
Right now there isn’t enough information to troubleshoot since the post only contains the template.

It would also help to know:

  • n8n version

  • how you configured the HTTP Request node

  • the URL expression you used

  • response/output from the last node

  • whether you’re using credentials or env variables

Chunked uploads saved my sanity with big files. I usually compress the video a bit first so the API has an easier time chewing through it, then rely on the Graph API’s start-transfer-finish flow. If Facebook keeps throwing random errors, swapping to a more stable internet connection has weirdly fixed things for me more than once. YouTube tends to behave better if I prep the metadata ahead of time.
