# YouTube error library

When using a scheduling tool like Buffer, there will be instances when a social network refuses the post and replies with an error message. Find your error below and follow the troubleshooting steps to get back on track.

## Didn't receive confirmation the post was published

**Error message:** *"We did not receive confirmation from YouTube that this post was published. It may have published successfully — please check your YouTube channel before retrying."*

**Why this happens:** Buffer sent your video to YouTube, but didn't get a response back confirming the upload finished processing before the connection closed. In most cases, the video actually did publish successfully on YouTube's end.

**What to do:**

1. Check your YouTube channel to see if the video published.
2. If it did, delete the failed post from your Buffer queue.
3. If it didn't, retry the post from your queue.
