To embed a Google Drive video using a script, you can use the Google Drive API along with HTML and JavaScript to create a video player. This approach involves fetching the video file metadata from Google Drive and then using that information to embed the video in an HTML5 video player.
Here's a basic example using JavaScript and the Google Drive API:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Google Drive Video Player</title> </head> <body> <video id="videoPlayer" width="640" height="360" controls> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> <script src="https://apis.google.com/js/api.js"></script> <script src="your_script.js"></script> <!-- Your JavaScript file that contains the Google Drive API logic --> </body> </html>
JavaScript (your_script.js):
// Initialize the Google Drive API function initClient() { gapi.client.init({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY', discoveryDocs: ["https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/drive/v3/rest"], }).then(function() { // Call the function to get the video file getFileFromDrive(); }); } // Function to get the video file from Google Drive function getFileFromDrive() { // Replace 'YOUR_VIDEO_FILE_ID' with the ID of your Google Drive video file var fileId = 'YOUR_VIDEO_FILE_ID'; gapi.client.drive.files.get({ fileId: fileId, fields: 'webViewLink' }).then(function(response) { var videoUrl = response.result.webViewLink; // Embed the video in the HTML5 video player var videoPlayer = document.getElementById('videoPlayer'); videoPlayer.src = videoUrl; }); } // Load the API client and authenticate with your API key gapi.load('client', initClient);
Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your actual Google API key. Also, replace 'YOUR_VIDEO_FILE_ID' with the ID of your video file on Google Drive. Ensure that the sharing settings allow anyone with the link to view the video.
This script uses the Google Drive API to fetch the webViewLink of the video file and then sets it as the source (src) of the HTML5 video player.
Remember to create and configure a Google Cloud Platform project, enable the Drive API, and obtain the API key to use the Google Drive API in your application. Additionally, make sure to include the necessary permissions and authentication if the video is not publicly accessible.
