I had done all the usual things, going into my Google drive, right-clicking on my video, selecting "Get shareable link" from the pop-up menu, clicking on the "sharing settings" link at the bottom of the dialogue box, selecting "More" the bottom of the next page, and ensuring that "On - anyone with the link" is ticked. But it did not work.
So I went looking, and found that someone else had the same problem, earlier this year. The link that Google now generates is missing three very important letters: "pre". Where once the Gdrive would auto-generate the format:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/[fileID]/preview?usp=sharingNow it generated:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/[fileID]/view?usp=sharing...and no longer worked. So all I needed to do was to autogenerate the link as usual, paste it where I needed it. then to manually edit it to add "pre" back in.
Working once more :-)
