How to Embed Video from Google Photos

This method uses access from Google Drive to create a embedded link

1. Upload video to Google Photos from phone.

2. Go to Google Drive, click the gear icon for settings... then choose settings... then scroll down and check the box next to "Create a Google Photos folder" and "Automatically put your Google Photos into a folder in My Drive".

Wait until the video file shows up in the new folder called "Google Photos".

3. Right click on the video file, get shareable link

4. Copy this HTML code below, replacing "LINKxxxTOxxxURLxxxHERE" with the "id" contained in the shareable link for the video file


<iframe height="480" src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/LINKxxxTOxxxURLxxxHERE/preview" width="640"></iframe><br /> 


Example:

Shareable link is
"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CeDCj1_EgGjaiPFWk9UgT6g6c0awNdaDcw"
HTML code is
<iframe height="480" src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/ 1CeDCj1_EgGjaiPFWk9UgT6g6c0awNdaDcw/preview" width="640"></iframe><br />

or....

Open the preview of the video,
then use the three dots to open the video in a new window,
then three dots again to select embed item.

Then copy the HTML code, which will be the same as the code you created above but making you take dumb extra steps loading the video for no reason because there's no direct option to get an embed code because peoples is dumbs.

5. Paste that HTML code into the HTML editor tab for Blogger, or whatever. You know what to do.
