A shared link to a video doesn't show on my website
I'm using this code in my webpage but the video stored in dropbox doesn't show. Previously it was to but now it's not.

Hi dilonpanda, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you able to preview the video when you access the shared link directly, without adding it to your site?
This will help me to assist further!
Yep! It also worked like this previous but I don't know what happened!
also tried adding raw=1 in the end of the url and didn't worked too!
please help me soon as this is very urgent for me!

It's possible that the website or the link you created isn't formatted correctly, or the site is unable to parse the shared link URL.
So how do I show a video stored in dropbox in my website which I build with html?

After briefly testing the two links, the first was a video, and the second was in fact a 3 second audio file with no video. Are you certain that the second link was supposed to have a video on it?

This isn't a Dropbox issue. The two videos you linked use different codecs. The first uses H264 which most browsers support natively. The second is a Motion JPG file. Basically, the browser doesn't know how to play the file because it doesn't recognize the file type.
