Video upload assist

I cannot get my youtube account to link. I've tried creating new ones and the elite site never sees it although the youtube site shows it linked.

I have a 45-8 game play I'd like to upload. I've put it in my online vault. Can one of my friends view/record it?

I am having a terrible time with the same shit. Cant get my videos to render.

yeah, nevermind some how it ended up getting deleted.

So I have some game play I'd like to upload. If I can render it and get it to my online vault, can someone with a youtube account record it? I know firefox has a plugin for that

Thanks guys

i gave up i am having the same issue as you are sgt

You know you can't render a whole game right, you can only render clips of less than 30sec long, elite subs apparently get a minute. IW theatre mode is shit and fuck up regulary, try deleting unsuccessful clips then redo them a day later and try render again. Once clip is in your YouTube acc rename it, or next render may replace it

I read that unless you have a hard drive attached on your xbox you cant do it.

im thinking about just picking up a vid cap card to upload videos. its not that expensive to pick on up.

Hello thank you for contacting Activision. Before we start can I have some information? What is your Gamertag, PSN ID or Steam ID you are playing under and what console are you on? How can I help you today?

XBOX | sgt tube socks | trying to link my youtube account and keep getting stuck in a redirect loop with a URL of error=140

account/settings?youtube_error=140
Michael W.
What web browser are you using?
null
tried different browsers, 3 different email addresses 3 different channel names. Chrome, Firefox or IE
null
shows linked in youtube
Michael W.
Ok so you get the error that your account is already linked?
null
No, I was able to get around that by creating a new youtube account. However, after I go through the initial channel setup and try and link the account I get redirected to the referenced URL, in a loop.
null
After I "allow access" ==> https://elite.callofduty.com/account/settings?youtube_error=140
Michael W.
Ok I am sorry for the inconvenience and everything you have tried it sounds like a lot keeps giving you the same loop?
null
Yeah I have never been able to use the feature, quite frustrating especially after dishing out another $50 to upgrdae.
Michael W.
I understand.
Michael W.
Ok can you go to your Elite feed for me.
null

Michael W.

Michael W.
Under Career under Elite summary.

Michael W.

Michael W.
Ok I am very sorry this will have to be something that we look into for you. If these steps have not worked.
null
that sucks, I should get some sort of a refund. Is this going to be done through email ? Forgotten about ?
Michael W.
No I will link this chat to this problem and it will be looked into for you.

null
is there a way to reset my account?
Michael W.
Sorry no this is something they will be looked into for you.
null
ok well do you know when I will hear something back
Michael W.
Sorry once it is linked and passed to them I am not updated on the incident.
Michael W.
I know they will try and solve this as soon as possible.
null
I am sure activision has bigger fish to fry which is a concern.
null
ok.. well I guess it is what it is.
Michael W.
We are trying to update the Linking you youtube process so it is much easier to deal with. It is just hard because we are not just dealing with our own site but also Youtube and their policies.
null
there has to be an api to xboxl and psn as well. I get that, just frustrated.
Michael W.
Yeah I understand I am sorry for the frustrations we will try and get this fixed as fast as possible for you.

The moral of the story is the extent Activision will go to to troubleshoot your issue is ask you to clear your browsers cache.

If your video can play in " friend's online vault " I can record it and upload it to youtube.

So I must have pissed off the right person because I was able to link to a youtube account. It just started working today.
