My company is currently using Figma for content creation, and we were really excited to see that we could finally export videos directly from Figma Buzz.
The problem is… exports seem to work randomly. Sometimes the file exports without an issue, but most of the time we end up waiting endlessly for the export to process, and nothing happens.
It feels like we might not be the only ones experiencing this. Has anyone else run into the same issue? And is there a workaround or solution that the Figma team could share with us?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi @Silvana_fem,
I understand you're experiencing issues with exporting videos from Figma Buzz — sometimes it works, but other times the export seems to hang indefinitely.
I tried to reproduce the issue on my end, but exports seem to be working as expected so far.
To help us better understand what might be going on, could you share a bit more information?
Does this happen only in the browser, only in the desktop app, or in both?
Is it happening in one specific file, or across multiple files?
Also, if you run into the issue again, it would be super helpful if you could share a short video recording of what you're seeing — ideally with the full Figma window visible.
That will help our team investigate more effectively.
Thanks,
Thank you for your quick reply!
The issue happens both in the browser (Safari and Chrome) and in the desktop app. It also occurs across multiple files. I usually try to select all my creatives and export them, but most of the time it just hangs. When that fails, I try exporting one by one, but that doesn’t work either. My coworker has the same issue on her laptop as well.
The main problem is the randomness: it rarely works, but right now, for example, I’ve been waiting 10 minutes on the desktop app and only one video has exported. Is it normal that it takes so long?
I can’t attach videos on this post, so here are screenshots showing the issue in Safari, Chrome, and the desktop app. At the time of writing, the export is still loading.
Thanks again for your help!
Update : it has been 30 minutes, and only one video was exported. The file is still trying to export the assets
Hi @Silvana_fem,
Thank you for the detailed follow-up — I really appreciate it.
I understand that the issue occurs both in Safari and Chrome, as well as in the Figma desktop app, and that it affects multiple files. You've also noted that the export process hangs most of the time, even when trying to export assets one by one, and your colleague is experiencing the same issue on a different machine.
To help get this looked into more closely, I’ll go ahead and create a support ticket on your behalf using all of the information you’ve shared. This will allow our team to investigate the issue in more detail.
One of our specialists will reach out to you when they’re ready. You should receive an email about the new ticket shortly — it will be sent to the email address associated with your Figma account.
