However, a Comment failed to post error can arise for some users when they try to post a comment for a YouTube video. Consequently, the comments some users enter don’t appear on YT pages.
How can I fix the comment failed to post on YouTube error?
1. Play the YouTube page’s video for a minute
To stop spamming, Google blocks comments from users who haven’t played videos on YT pages for at least a few seconds. So, try playing the video on the YouTube page you can’t comment on for about a minute or two. If you still can’t comment on YT pages after playing their videos, try the resolutions below.
2. Disable all browser extensions
Google Chrome
Firefox
Edge
3. Open YouTube in incognito browsing modes
Incognito mode browsing also disables extensions. You can activate incognito browsing in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge with these hotkeys:
Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N
4. Clear browser data
Google Chrome
Firefox
Edge
5. Sign out and log back into YouTube
6. Disable VPN and proxy connections
Note: You can also disable VPN connections via the Settings app. Our How to turn off VPN on Windows 10 post provides further details for disabling VPN connections.
7. Change your YouTube name
