Google Drive Video Player
Nocode
CMS
Play videos hosted on Google Drive.
Use any Google Drive hosted video link directly in your Framer project.
It works as another video component, with capabilities to show or hide video controls as well as capabilities to auto-play or wait for the user to click play.
It's a simple, yet powerful component that preloads your videos to speed up loading a bit.
Because Google Drive is not a video streaming service, videos may not load immediately. A little hack for this is to delay and animate in the video player while the video is loading and put a loading spinner indicator behind the video component layer.
This will give feedback to users that a video will eventually load in a specific spot, and when it does it enters the audience's view nicely.
It is recommended that you only use smaller videos for this as longer videos will take time to load. Under 20 seconds seems to be the sweet spot, but do as you wish!
