Restrictions are set by either Including a list of countries allowed to view, or Excluding a list of countries not allowed to view the video. Keep in mind that there may be a delay when updating restrictions on a video that has already been Tweeted (approximately one to two minutes).

Check to ensure your video is under 2:20 in duration (or 10 minutes, if you have been whitelisted for this feature by your Twitter account manager).
