Embed link not loading video

[Stefan Braem]

Hi

I've uploaded a .mp4 to a folder in my Dropbox, copied the link and made sure that viewing rights were public, pasted the link in a new browser tab, changed "dl=0" to "raw=1" and since then, the video didn't load anymore.

Could anyone help me on this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Stefan Braem,

Seems you have posted a link result of redirection from original link ( the one ending as /2021-11-26 02-02-21-1.mp4?raw=1 ). Redirected links validity can be restricted in time. Is the original link still valid? 🧐 If yes, use it instead of redirects. 😉 By default it's not limited in time.

Hope this helps.

Hi

Thanks for the reply!

The direct link (https://www.dropbox.com/s/51qsslfj83hudol/2021-11-26%2002-02-21-1.mp4?dl=0) works, but I can't use that link to embed the video into my website. I've embedded multiple video's into my website by changing dl=0 to raw=1 in the original link and then use that new link to embed the video. But this time, that method doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!

Stefan

I dont think it will work @Stefan Braem 

Dropbox blocks HTML / website hosting and displays on websites etc. 

Simply put Dropbox isnt designed or intended to host/store websites and so they block it.
