While we strongly recommend a more traditional Video Hosting Platform (such as Vimeo, Muse.ai or even YouTube) for more stability, speed, playback control, bandwidth and reporting - you can embed videos saved on Google Drive to your pages.
In order to do so - you will need to grab the "Embed Code" - NOT the "share link" to the video.
Here is how to find the Embed Code for videos saved on Google Drive:
1) Go to the video on Google Drive and open it.
2) On the top right, click the More icon.

3) Click Open in a new window.

4) From the new window that opens, on the top right, click the 3-dot
More" icon again, and then click Embed item.

5) Copy the embed code and click OK.

6) You may now insert or "paste" that code into your Video Widget's "Settings" window. First click 'Edit Video" - then paste the copied Embed Code into the "Video Source" Field.

(Note; another option is to use the "Embed" Widget or the "Code" widget - pasting the copied code into the Settings screen or black box code area)
