How to make the video play in Google Drive again
(Phone)
Sometimes you may experience when you click on a video link that Google Drive gives you a message that says "The video is currently unplayable because too many people have watched the link". To solve that problem I show you step by step with pictures of how to make the video playable again.
​
Note: If you don't want to do this way you can also try and wait for 24 hours and see if the video starts to works again by itself. It should be but there is always a possibility that it stops to work again in the future.
1. Download the Google Drive app that looks like this (picture) and sign in or create a new Google account in the app.
2. Choose the video that you want to play on my website and choose to open the video in the Google Drive app if that appears (otherwise just log in on your browser instead).
​
Then click on the three dots in the upper right corner and a new window will appear on your screen.
3. When the new window appears click on "Add to My Drive" a bit further down. Choose also where you want the video to be added on your drive with clicking on select.
3. The video should now have appeared on your drive if you open the Google Drive app again. Then you will click on the three dots that is right next to the name of the video.
4. A new window will appear again and now you will click on "Make a copy". This time you also have to chose where to place the file but just click on select when that appears.
5. Now you should see a copy of the video right next to the original video on your drive.
6. The video probably won't be able to play for a while, but that's just because Google Drive needs to process the new video first. How long that takes depends on the size of the video. Just have some patience and the video will hopefully start to work sooner than the original video.
Hope this step by step tutorial worked out for you and if you receive any problems send me a message on Instagram and I will help you as soon as possible.
