How to embed Google Drive videos into a Webflow CMS Collection element using unique URLs from the product database?

To embed Google Drive videos into a Webflow CMS Collection element using unique URLs from the product database, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Get the Google Drive video URL: First, upload your video to Google Drive. Once uploaded, right-click on the video file and select "Get shareable link". Make sure the sharing settings are set to "Anyone with the link can view".

2. Get the unique URL for each video: In your Webflow CMS Collection, you should have a field that includes the Google Drive video URL for each product. This could be a plain text field or a rich text field, depending on your setup.

3. Add an embed element to your CMS Collection Template: In your Webflow Designer, navigate to the CMS Collection Template that you want to display the videos on. Add an Embed element to the appropriate location on the template.

4. Customize the embed element: With the Embed element selected, click on the gear icon and open the settings panel.

5. Use dynamic binding to insert the video URL: Inside the embed element, use the dynamic binding feature to insert the unique product video URL. To do this, click on the plus icon in the URL field and select the appropriate field from your CMS Collection that contains the Google Drive video URL.

6. Adjust the iframe dimensions: By default, the Google Drive video will be embedded using an iframe. If necessary, adjust the width and height of the iframe to ensure proper display of the video.

7. Preview and publish: Save your changes and preview the CMS Collection Template to see how the videos are displayed. If everything looks good, publish your site to make the changes live.

Following these steps will allow you to embed Google Drive videos into a Webflow CMS Collection element using unique URLs from the product database. Please note that this method assumes that the URLs in your CMS Collection are pointing to publicly accessible Google Drive videos.
