Ok I Need help on the 12 hour Upload thing
Right so I Saw on this post that a guy was having trouble with a upload on youtube due to the 12 hour limit, you got the usual answers of, "Just cut it down and split it into a bunch of videos and make a playlist,"

However there was this one comment I saw that's sort of a workaround/exploit on youtube and I need it clarifying If any of them see or if someone else who knows sees this.
The Exploit said in the comment was "Upload The Video, Wait until around 95/99%, Pause the Upload somehow? wait 24 hours, then resume."
For me there is one thing that needs clarifying and that's the pause/resume process.
-
The Pause process seems to be only achieved by so called closing the upload tab (Which doesn't work for me,) which is confusing cause the only Pause method I Found was turn off your connection and then resume whenever within 24 hours or it loses the upload, but I was told to wait AT LEAST 24 hours.
-
Then the most confusing part of all the resume process, now I heard someone say they had a resume upload button after 24 hours, now I dont have said button but it saying on my YT Studio that it's stuck at 2 mins to Upload, (Which was what it was on 24 hours previous,) Is this the Exploit? if so where do I go from here, do I reupload the same file and then somehow weirdly it will process or is it secretly doing the process weirdly without telling me? I Need Help and not the cut it down and make a playlist sort of help.
(Also finally for those wondering it's 46 hour Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Playthrough, It pretty much is the full game's main story with a few side quests here and there)
