I verified my account but my video still won't play.

Later on you verify your account, you'll demand to upload your video again:

  2. Select CREATE  and upload your video again.

I don't know whether I verified my account yet.

I already verified my account merely I tin can't upload long videos.

My video is larger than 256 GB.

If your video is larger than 256 GB, try compressing your video in a video editing software earlier uploading information technology to YouTube. Compressing will reduce your video file size while maintaining the video quality. One common way to shrink a video for YouTube is to encode it using the H.264 codec.
