Hi there, previously a video component linked with a file from Google Drive worked fine, until i discovered it this morning.

I know using links from Google Drive is unreliable but did something change in this component recently?

Have you ever tried using the web embed component?

We haven’t changed anything about this component in two years and our docs explicitly state that Google Drive does not support this use case and will break your links.

Services like Google Drive use expiring links that work temporarily but then break.

Thanks David, I guess it’s time it finally it stopped working.
