It appears that even links from 4 days ago (2023-09-13) don't work anymore, which means that this method of embedding google photos won't work unfortunately. Photos seem to go back alot further than videos though. ## Using Google Drive Embedding <iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H4hn4CxpHjitt5g63rFV73jh5f-uot3d/preview" width="100%" height="480" allow="autoplay"></iframe> ## Getting Google lh3 Link <div style="width:100%;height:480px;background-color:black;text-align:center;"> <video style="height:100%;" controls="controls"> <source src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AIL4fc-PzsmWRPMoNNOEfT20veu7eOyUvvnGDGROVACWoZSl1Z-BKgdrmi5JUn90b01PGDzd3598o15KLdQkPMOGm_OP7BPxtNssiwH5JcnxLhnMv4AV49dq=m18" > </video> </div> <div style="width:100%;height:480px;background-color:black;text-align:center;"> <video style="height:100%;" controls> <source src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AIL4fc9CgIk9jeNr4HjrWCmvMUsxAe04l8_nXUWCjvD_C-RXMj3xgzwaDHOSbyIAKKFsSwctF6Srx-bzIz8glsaU0DCCUz8iVPw02eJ0MibmTGK44slE9DrxpyN6NyTL__WGbhvPjSQvK5YW7anrkgxzZIjilTvWbq6DWWHBDAL3dUmDhnWmAXkBcGDbjH2K2gMPODaSwJ0uRas2I3rp_z-tOGY1kHbYiy8F16ZnW2y5jqWTg5cZkOi9Ef_dmAcu61LSFoAT6bdubnPctbCF7ZWriXwIXUYmLzvNojinazo68w68KtA1aKtd2yVABVehpJkNVLmbttMIR5znkiP1ujoP4IKqCnY5nLLIUb5sj3TVSXiWCoV79NQYgUbnrDDc1a78PlE663pM8LxTonc5WGCEdGqqsV8_rzueUJOZzAIsWIaGSUOa7ts-wYqjq_bm1HhPGAX0kcoGCi53_bNsakl7-8cq74HHtSksBEBnq6-MeG_qev241Qd5-yloIM0cqRFM-pXfxQlkZ21K8QDvZzXVT8IqGpWCQU70YhKbE32F-DvfUHaXuiADJMG_H0WkQa9fzW6lMU3hZiJ_JiU4UvX2krNEW7ViOEllRTKMB8SvcalRSc4yjPCjIVnvtK955sDzLovaTXeEEH8eWwfPb52DEJbymUFRwCC3lVnU29uIsRBK_jNFUTYvV5w6L5UMRI_4UjifECC2aMhd4xRUAwSC9IJAjie0hr0zZ-rJ3R-ieDKGWx88hhRJInTrignEkRc7g9kFDtQWns5IVkYuhCWQlraCqS2TFr9Eeh_HyrPe9SzBF1YktAS2sbaLCy2yUdoOI_RhGXxmg57AfKq9Xci8Rs4RcsUinLgy1S_CNAoiOxZTDDNhOk-EOPum8dLTLZsv2ALqeZtAqi9o8F_pMl7JRucPT8UKzLd67bI4S7pOSLo3XG5MQs601qfTBhvDzGdk1NDprz2_UOUh2Rc=w600-h315-k-no-m18" type="video/mp4"> </video> </div> The link for the above video is: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AIL4fc-PzsmWRPMoNNOEfT20veu7eOyUvvnGDGROVACWoZSl1Z-BKgdrmi5JUn90b01PGDzd3598o15KLdQkPMOGm_OP7BPxtNssiwH5JcnxLhnMv4AV49dq=m18 To get HD it becomes: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AIL4fc_buVcUhvpBTwpn6jqcYXDXZ-N_y4X78kdRP-wFAoY_yVRELeW5E8kxjx5bvl7KhLRWlFF0WHz6fT4M5BFeH1OjASuWtNbYjhM3Pk7qA1rtbmbyL9A0=m37 This tool seems legit: https://www.publicalbum.org/blog/embedding-google-photos-image I was worried it would be a dodgy redirect and actually just host the pictures itself but it doesn't look like it has. https://support.google.com/photos/thread/9590592?msgid=9603023 Very interesting # References 1. https://bytesbin.com/embed-video-from-google-photos/ # Footnotes
