I understand that you're having troubles playing a video file in Google Drive. Let me extend all my help.

Sometimes, a video in Google Drive will be unplayable when the number of times it has been viewed within a certain timeframe has exceeded its limit. We do this to prevent adding extra strain on our servers so that we can maintain a fast Google Drive experience for everyone. I recommend two different options for uploading your videos depending on your desired outcome:

Thank you.

If you would like to view the video and share it with others, I strongly recommend uploading it to YouTube. Though it's possible to view videos within Google Drive, YouTube's servers are better suited for handling such requests. When uploading to YouTube, you can modify the sharing settings of the video so that it's only shared with the people you want.

If you would like to share this video with others to download, try compressing the video into a zip file and reuploading it. Compressing your video into a zip file can also reduce its size, making it easier for others to download.

Just so you know, Google Drive is designed to store your important files and such.

But playing video files or movies may really encounter this kind of issue.

And if you wish to view this file hassle free, I suggest downloading it on your computer or upload it to YouTube, this would definitely give you no error at all.

Thanks for understanding.
