如果您在Google Drive上上传了一个视频，但它没有在您的计算机上播放，您可以执行以下操作。这些解决方案适用于使用浏览器访问Google Drive而不是桌面应用程序的用户。您可以在 PC 上使用的任何浏览器上应用这些故障排除建议。
Google Drive是一个很棒的云存储解决方案，它可以让您上传几乎任何文件，包括视频。如果您购买Google One订阅，您可以上传大型视频、保存并与他人分享，没有任何问题。但是，有时您上传的视频可能无法正常播放。
Google 云端硬盘视频无法播放
要修复Google Drive 视频无法播放的(Google Drive videos are not playing)问题，请遵循以下建议 -
- 视频尚未准备好播放？
- 检查视频格式
- 检查视频分辨率
- 检查文件大小
- 不要阻止第三方 cookie
- 退出(Sign)辅助Google帐户
- 盗版内容问题。
1]视频尚未准备好播放
如果您将视频上传到Google 云端硬盘(Google Drive)并尝试立即播放，但没有在浏览器中播放，您应该等待几分钟。尽管Google Drive几乎立即显示视频缩略图，但用户可能需要等待几分钟才能像任何其他常规视频一样播放和观看它。没有具体的等待时间，但这取决于视频的大小。文件越大，您需要等待的时间就越长。在这种情况下，您可能会收到这样的消息——“我们正在处理此视频。请稍后再回来查看(We’re processing this video. Please check back later)。” 或此视频当前不可用(This video is currently unavailable)。
2]检查视频格式
尽管您可以使用某些技术在Google Drive(Google Drive)上上传任何视频（带有任何扩展名），但您无法在浏览器中全部播放。发生这种情况是因为限制。供您参考，这些是您可以在Google Drive 中观看的受支持的视频格式 - WebM(Google Drive – WebM)、MPEG4、3GPP(MPEG4)、MOV、MPEG-PS、AVI、WMV、FLV、MTS和OGG。
此外，Google Drive不保证您的手机是否可以播放所有这些格式。如果您使用带有任何标准浏览器（如Google Drive、Microsoft Edge、Mozilla Firefox等）的 Windows PC，则可以全部播放。
3]检查视频分辨率
除了对视频格式进行限制外，Google Drive还阻止用户播放分辨率超过 1080p 的视频。这意味着您可以在Google Drive上上传和存储 4K 或 8K 视频，但无法播放。您的视频必须具有 1920 x 1080 像素或更低的分辨率。
4]检查文件大小
Google Drive的第三个限制与文件大小有关。虽然Google Drive仅提供 15GB 的免费存储空间，但用户可以通过(Google Drive)Google One订阅来扩展它。即使您购买了一些 TB 的存储空间，您的视频也必须为 5 TB 或更少。当您获得超过 5 TB 的视频文件时，这种情况很少见，但检查大小总是好的。
5]不要阻止第三方cookies
阻止第三方 cookie 可能会导致此问题。在这种情况下，您应该检查您的第三方 cookie 设置是否设置为无。如果不是，您必须将设置恢复为出厂默认设置。不同的浏览器有不同的方法来做到这一点。如果您使用的是Google Chrome，请在地址栏中输入此内容并点击Enter按钮 -
chrome://settings/content/cookies
现在确保关闭阻止第三方 cookie选项。(Block third-party cookies)
如果您使用的是最新版本的Mozilla Firefox，则需要使用标准(Standard)跟踪保护。但是，您也可以设置一些自定义规则。为此，请选择Custom，从Cookies复选框中取消勾选，重新加载Google Drive窗口，然后尝试播放它。
同样，您也可以从其他浏览器中解除第三方 cookie 预防系统。
6]退出(Sign)辅助谷歌(Google)帐户
如果您在浏览器中使用多个Google帐户，建议您退出辅助Google帐户。虽然谷歌(Google)处理这些事情很复杂，但一些内部设置可能会导致冲突。
7]盗版问题
Google使用哈希匹配来检测盗版内容，即您无法通过Google Drive上传和共享的内容。如果您上传了盗版视频，是时候摆脱它了，因为您无法以任何方式播放它。
其他解决方案：(Other solutions:)
还有两件事你应该检查和改变。
要在浏览器中播放视频，您需要有良好的互联网连接。否则，由于明显的原因，它不会播放。其次，您可以禁用所有浏览器扩展程序以检查它们是否造成问题。
如果没有任何工作，您需要立即观看视频，您可以使用手动方法完成工作。这意味着您可以将视频下载到计算机并观看。
Google Drive videos are not playing or showing a blank screen
If you uploaded a video on Google Drive, but it is not playing on your computer, here is what you can do. These solutions are for those, who use a browser to acсess Google Drive, instead of the desktop application. You can apply these troυbleshooting suggеstions on аny browser, which you are using on your PC.
Google Drive is a great cloud storage solution, which lets you upload almost any file, including videos. If you buy the Google One subscription, you can upload large videos, save and share them with others without any problem. However, sometimes your uploaded videos might not play as it should be.
Google Drive videos are not playing
To fix Google Drive videos are not playing issue, follow these suggestions-
- Video is not ready to be played?
- Check the video format
- Check the video resolution
- Check the file size
- Don’t block third party cookies
- Sign out of secondary Google account
- Pirated content issue.
1] Video is not ready to be played
If you uploaded a video on Google Drive and you tried to play it right away, but it didn’t play in your browser, you should wait for a couple of minutes. Although Google Drive shows video thumbnail almost immediately, users may need to wait for a few minutes before they can play and watch it like any other regular video. There is no specific waiting time, but it depends on the size of your video. The bigger the file, the more time you need to wait. In this case, you might get a message like – “We’re processing this video. Please check back later.” or This video is currently unavailable.
2] Check the video format
Although you can upload any video (with any extension) on Google Drive using some techniques, you cannot play them all in your browser. That happens because of the restriction. For your information, these are the supported video formats that you can watch in Google Drive – WebM, MPEG4, 3GPP, MOV, MPEG-PS, AVI, WMV, FLV, MTS, and OGG.
Also, Google Drive doesn’t guarantee whether your mobile can play all those formats or not. If you are using a Windows PC with any standard browser like Google Drive, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, etc., you can play them all.
3] Check the video resolution
Apart from having a restriction on the video format, Google Drive blocks users from playing videos that have a resolution of more than 1080p. It means that you can upload and store a 4K or 8K video on Google Drive, but you cannot play it. Your video must have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels or less.
4] Check the file size
The third limitation of Google Drive is related to the file size. Although Google Drive offers only 15GB free storage, users can extend it with Google One subscription. Even if you purchase some terabytes of storage, your video must be 5 TB or less. It is a rare case when you got a video file that is more than 5 TB, but it is always good to check the size.
5] Don’t block third-party cookies
Blocking third-party cookies can cause this issue. In that case, you should check whether your third-party cookie setting is set to none or not. If not, you must revert the setting to the factory default. Different browsers have different ways to do it. If you are using Google Chrome, enter this in your address bar and hit the Enter button-
chrome://settings/content/cookies
Now make sure that the Block third-party cookies option is turned off.
If you are using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, you need to use the Standard tracking protection. However, you can set some custom rules as well. For that, choose Custom, remove the tick from Cookies checkbox, reload the Google Drive window, and try to play it.
Similarly, you can lift the third-party cookie prevention system from other browsers as well.
6] Sign out of secondary Google account
If you are using more than one Google account in your browser, it is suggested to sign out of the secondary Google account. Although Google takes care of such things sophistically, some internal settings might cause conflict.
7] Pirated content issue
Google uses hash matching to detect pirated content, what you cannot upload and share via Google Drive. If you uploaded a pirated video, it is the time to get rid of it since you cannot play it in any way.
Other solutions:
There are two more things you should check and change.
- Browser extension
- Internet connection
To play a video in your browser, you need to have a good internet connection. Otherwise, it won’t play for obvious reasons. Secondly, you can disable all browser extensions to check if they are creating the issue or not.
If nothing is working and you need to watch the video immediately, you can use the manual method to get the job done. That implies you can download the video to your computer and watch it.
