Hi All Customer,
In this topic tutorial we’ll help you use Google Drive link for Movies Video or Film in our Filmmaker WordPress theme (now is Circle and Formota).
Step 1: You need update load your video to Google Drive and can view it like this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VCedaAAoZ3DbS6v9wLYhZz9yry99xITJ/view
To get the link to view video you can right click on the video and choose Copy link like this:
Please notice on the red highlight you will get ID of file:
1VCedaAAoZ3DbS6v9wLYhZz9yry99xITJ
Step 2: Replace your file id in this URL
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1VCedaAAoZ3DbS6v9wLYhZz9yry99xITJ
Please replace this 1VCedaAAoZ3DbS6v9wLYhZz9yry99xITJ to your video file ID in the Step 1
Update: If you don’t want to do the step above manually you can read How to Create a Direct Download Link Using Google Drive Direct Link Generator.
https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/
Note: If you file is smaller than 100MB maybe you only insert this link on MP4 url to make video work.
Update: If you file larger than 100MB maybe you will get the issue like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/{file_id}?alt=media&key={drive_api_key}
- file_id you can find similar step above.
- drive_api_key you can follow this: https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6158862?hl=en
Outdated: If you file larger than 100MB maybe you will get the issue like this:
Click on Download anyway you will get Video URL in download tab like this:
Example:
Step 3: Insert this link on our video meta
Click to view your video 🙂

March 3, 2022 at 3:48 pm #9453Hi Exactaprint,
We used your video URL from your server and it’s working fine here:
Here is the settings:
https://gyazo.com/1e62b119be1f7f0c5970cfb0bec209c7
So please make sure your are using latest version of theme to make it compatible with the latest version of WordPress.
We see you are using very old version:
https://hannahcurriefilm.com/wp-content/themes/formota/style.css?ver=5.3.11 (1.2.4) but current version is 1.5.3:

The tutorial above is working fine for all other customers now!
Hope this helps!****

Most of my videos are larger than 100MB. That’s why I try to use the download link. But it does not work.
June 20, 2023 at 2:08 am #11489Hi Rafael,
Please share your drive URL of your video have size > 100MB.

I believe this difficulty may be common to many people.Recapping my procedure:
Action 1 – I copy the video link to google driveThis is an example file from my google drive:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KzxJo-o_77giKorpalgWBZ14pQVZh0om/view?usp=drive_linkAction 2 – I insert on the site https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/
which generates a new deep link.https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1KzxJo-o_77giKorpalgWBZ14pQVZh0om
Action 3 – I copy the new direct link and paste it on the circle theme videos page.
note:
– Videos <100mb work fine, no problem.
– Videos >100mb does not workFor the video that doesn’t work, I follow with more actions:
Action 4 – I check access permissions to the file in google drive, which is available to anyone with a link.Action 5 – I check the link in my browser and see the message:
The file is too large for Google’s virus scan. Do you still want to download?I continue following your guidance:
Action 6 – I click download anyway.Action 7 – I copy the url of the file in the download tab
For example:

This one works really well. Perfect! But for only 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes the video stops playing. 🙁
June 20, 2023 at 4:03 pm #11501Hi,
After checking the video link by download we got access denied.
Maybe in the latest version Google Drive changed it.
That’s why the video can’t play.
Can you please check your video with this link:https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/1VCedaAAoZ3DbS6v9wLYhZz9yry99xITJ?alt=media&key=AIzaSyCE8IcOyzg4M0BhUZ-NZCqB1WNJLpEyoGM
We have just tried solution from this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32608289/is-there-a-way-to-get-links-to-a-google-drive-video-file-with-redirector-googlev
Hope it will works now.****
