# Embed a video hosted on Google Drive

Whatfix enables you to embed Google Drive videos to any Pop-up template to deliver more information to your users. The Visual Editor enables you to add a video to the Pop-up template directly using the UI. The video can be embedded in the description section. For more information on Whatfix Pop-up templates, see [Choose the Pop-up template](/desktop/docs/choosing-a-pop-up-template).

### Step 1 : Upload the video to your Dashboard

#### Download the Google Drive video

1. Go to the video on Google Drive and open it.
2. On the top right, click the **Download** icon. ![Click_download_icon](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Click_download_icon.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T08%3A43%3A39Z&se=2026-11-12T09%3A43%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6nwnWSv6bJmY1Bknm6tlxMdJXNHnfEOT3%2BHmfwQjDtI%3D)

- A link is generated for the video uploaded from your local drive or library. Find this link inside the video content you created on the Dashboard and then insert it in your Flows, Smart Tips, Pop-ups, and other Whatfix content. ![2022-08-09_16-56-14](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/2022-08-09_16-56-14.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T08%3A43%3A39Z&se=2026-11-12T09%3A43%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6nwnWSv6bJmY1Bknm6tlxMdJXNHnfEOT3%2BHmfwQjDtI%3D)
