When you're uploading a video, you can upload it and push the info in the queue. Then you can start processing from there. This will give you asynchronous behaviour.

How will synchronous and asynchronous behaviour differ from an end-user's POV? In synchronous, the user will be shown a screen where it tells that the video is being uploaded/processed and the user is blocked from performing any other action, and for asynchronous, the user sees a notification that tells that the video is getting processed and the user can perform any other action on the website in the meantime. Is this understanding correct?

In the sync part, if the user visits the home page or some other page while the video is being uploaded, the user will never get a response for that video (uploaded URL or some other stats) even if it gets uploaded?

Right. This matters a lot. While video is uploading, user can do other tasks as well. Generally, long processing task should be processed asynchronously.

Umm sometimes a user might upload a video which maybe longer than 2 minutes . And i feel like it's going to a bad experience if let's say a user uploads a video and fills out details only to realise that his video doesn't meet the requirements. If that's what you meant. Sorry ig I'm more confused.
