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/1Weg_EfziUzzMzKwlBzsqik8HDjZxgUJG/view
To get the link to view video you can share the video like this:
Please notice on the red highlight you will get ID of file:
1Weg_EfziUzzMzKwlBzsqik8HDjZxgUJG
Step 2: Replace your file id in this URL
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1Weg_EfziUzzMzKwlBzsqik8HDjZxgUJG&export=download&extension=file.mp4
If you file is smaller than 100MB maybe you only insert this link on MP4 url to make video work.
If you file larger than 100MB maybe you will get the issue like this:

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:

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!****
