Enable Video Streaming from Google Drive

If you have trouble playing videos directly on Google Drive, the solution is actually simple. Just add google.com and youtube.com to the whitelist. This will also enable playing videos directly inside Google Slides.

To do so, open this link in your Chrome or Chromium browser: chrome://settings/content/cookies

Then click the "Add" button on the "Allow" section, and add these entries:

• [*.]google.com
• [*.]youtube.com

This might seem to enable cookies for something like fakedomaingoogle.com & fakedomainyoutube.com, but for now it works.
