    I am using tutor lms pro with presto player. I am not showing any video about how to add video from google drive…. even if i add the link in media hub when going back to tutor lms and paste it in course section then request for preview, it shows google drive link in the browser when expand screen…How to resolve this?

    I can not finish this project for that reason.

    Thanks

  • Hello @senatorious

    To use an MP4 video hosted on Google Drive, you need to generate a link and change the URL before using it.

    Replace the “file/d/” string with “/u/0/uc?id=” and the view?usp=sharing. With “&export=download“ and then append #.mp4 at the end to ensure the file is detected as mp4.

    That means if you get a generated link that looks like this:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jBO9fxTwFntfZxQ2_-yInqqVjuuH-Smr/view?usp=sharing

    You should change it to this:

    [video src="https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1jBO9fxTwFntfZxQ2_-yInqqVjuuH-Smr&export=download#.mp4" /]

    Note: We don’t recommend Google Drive for hosting video or audio files. One main reason is that Google Drive may limit the bandwidth you want to use since they don’t want to be a CDN.

    I hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you for your help. How can I do this?

    I tried to do this manually but it is not working.

    Hello there,

    Thank you for your update.

    You can use the Presto Player Video block and then insert the Google Drive.

    Let’s say the converted URL is –
    [video src="https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1jBO9fxTwFntfZxQ2_-yInqqVjuuH-Smr&export=download#.mp4" /]

    Here is the sample screenshot – https://d.pr/i/r9lAyX

    I hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
