 * Hello,
    as you can see in the video on clicking any of the optimization buttons
   in the checklist the process is not activated. Also the video itself was uploaded
   into the wp library first, then inserted, still needs optimization at 1200x900px.

 * Button was able to be clicked and optimization progressed, still the video would
   not need optimization in the first place I believe.

 * Heya,
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * The current threshold for triggering the video optimization recommendation is
   a resolution of 1280×720 / 720×1280 (around 921k pixels). Going by the total 
   number of pixels, 1200×900 is slightly larger than that at over 1m pixels). That’s
   why you see the message.
 * Please note that there is usually no need to click that button if you have already
   compressed videos locally before upload and videos are already quite small and
   in the MP4 format. In that case you can ignore the video optimization check in
   the checklist.
