Embed Video Into Webpage

Pat Sheehan · ‎04-25-2023

Is the last few years of embedding Dropbox videos into a web page a thing of the past? Was there a recent update - maybe within the last few days?

Embedded videos suddenly stopped working and the latest "tip and trick" is from 2017 which isn't useful.

Checked my website. Seems to be working for me at 1:45 pm EST. I don't use a content management system like Wordpad, I just copy and paste the HTML code into a web page using the Dreamweaver HTML editor.

A new thing in browsers. If you have the video set to "autoplay", the video will start but there'll be no sound. I removed the "autoplay" verbiage so now the play button has to be clicked by the user to start the video but there'll be sound.

Just discovered this a month or so ago...

Can I embed videos from Dropbox to put on my website?

Dropbox isnt a hosting service so things on websites are not going to always play well.

Please use the correct tool for this and find a hosting service you can use. You are saving yourself lots of trouble in the long run.
