How do I embed videos from my Google Drive / Google Photos into a Blogger post? Embed is no more??? 1 Recommended Answer 26 Replies 240 Upvotes
Embed into a Blogger post a video that already exists in my Google Drive (via Google Photos). There used to be an "Embed" option in Google Drive, but I no longer see it.

Greetings Ben,
There are a couple of different methods you may use to embed a Google Drive Video into a Blogger Blog.
You may use Back Up & Sync or Google File Stream to sync the video with the local drive.
By doing this you will be able to upload the video from the Back Up & Sync or File Stream Folder located on the Windows device desktop.
If your preference is to grab an embed code please follow the below steps:
- Open Google Drive
- Find the Video file
- Set Share Setting to Public on Web
- Click to Open in iFrame
- Click the "More Actions" icon (3 vertical Dots) upper right corner
- Select "Open in New Window"
- Click "More Actions" and Select Embed Code
- Copy Embed Code and paste into Blogger HTML Post Composer
Do share if you have further questions
Best,
Ms. Drasby

Greetings Lodo Grdzak Welcome to Google Blogger Help Community 😀
Is your issue specifically with embedding YouTube videos?
If it is could you start a different thread for the issue is different than the original question being answsered.
I don't want to confuse users trying to learn about embedding videos directly from Google Drive.

you can try use video link directly from shared page. Check this: https://www.publicalbum.org/blog/embed-google-photos-video. There is a tool to easy to obtain video direct link from shared link and generate short html code to embed video from Google Photos.

I've been using the embed code method, but now with the changes to Google Photos and Drive, I can't figure out how to make this work anymore. Any suggestions?

I'm also having a problem getting videos to play from google drive. It's not the browser; if I open the file directly from my hard disk it plays fine. It seems to be an issue with some wrapper that google inserts around the file. Unfortunately, it seems difficult if not impossible to get a google drive link to a video that doesn't automatically insert this wrapper.
I can play videos from other sites fine. The google sites video does work in Firefox (sometimes, depending on how I try), but never in Chrome.
Very bizarre. I wish Google wouldn't try to insert its own code, and allow a direct link to the video.
