  Hi! I added an audio block on my blog post using a URL to it’s location in my drive.
  When I published the post, I found out that the play icon was disabled (grey and not clickable).
  I tried using a Google Drive link (view access updated to ‘anyone’) as well as a dropbox link. I also tried to put a Google Drive video, but for some reason, that was too, disabled. None of them work.

  Please help, I need to upload small pieces of audios and videos for a detailed analysis of my own songs.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hi there,

  Can you provide the URL of the blog post where you are trying to add the audio link? I would be happy to look into this for you.

  Thanks!

  You’ll see that the audio is disabled for some reason.

  Thanks~
