Have read a couple of threads here about audio component. It’s not working for me. I’m using Google drive in a public folder, with a public link. Why is my audio component not working/the play button is greyed out?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @Seekr_Disc_Golf,

Format the URL a bit and try again!

You get your URL from Drive like this :

`https://drive.google.com/file/d/18dG1BCTkDfG1HWtkhW3K0WizYyAJPysG/view?usp=drive_link`

Then copy the ID from the URL :

`18dG1BCTkDfG1HWtkhW3K0WizYyAJPysG` ( the value between **d/** and **/view** )

After that add that ID to this formatted URL and paste the full URL on the audio component :

`https://drive.google.com/uc?id={copied ID}`

End result :

`https://drive.google.com/uc?id=18dG1BCTkDfG1HWtkhW3K0WizYyAJPysG`

I would recommend uploading the file to Glide using the file picker, if it’s not too much of a problem to re-configure.
