Unable to complete video verification

Hello,

 

When I log in my account, the following message is displayed:

 

Action required: To avoid additional account restrictions, you must complete your identity verification video call with Upwork. You can initiate this call by chatting with an agent here.

 

The problem is, when I click on the link, it takes to the Help center and then, before I can click on anything else, takes me back to Upwork's homepage. I have tried accessing that link through my account, and still doesn't work. I've tried using another browser, same thing happens. Even when I try logging in the Help Center, it redirects me to the homepage. Is there any way to make the link work, and finally have the video verification call?

 

Thank you for yout help,

Maira

I have the same problem, unable to video verify.   I tried multiple times, complained on this forum, get some response from Upwork without a solution.  Tried different browsers, cleared my cache, stopped ad blocker always the same result - it blinks a few times and takes me back to MY Jobs.  Can Upwork staff login to my computer and check what is going on?  My due date is tomorrow, I am working on new contract offer, please do not block me.  Please help!

Hello Bojan,

 

Hello Valerie,

 

I hope that you can help me too! My account is currently limited and is being asked to do an identity verification - video verification in particular. This is step is very simple and I don't have an issue with it. What makes it complicated is the fact that my account has completed both ID and Video verification processes way back Sept of 2019. This means that I do not have the link to proceed. And I am starting to get frustrated with the support that I receive. 

I am more than willing to comply and complete this asap but am not getting anywhere with Support.

 

Please help.

 

Thank you.

Hi, I am unable to verify, I have already uploaded my national id. But the video chat redirects me to the help center instead of any video meeting on Google meeting or something. I have no idea what's wrong, I have the latest Chrome and healthy Windows. Please help I have 6 days left and a contract in the works.
