Google has brought a new update to speed up the time while loading videos. As reported by Android Authority, the tech giant has purchased an update that could enhance your user experience.
After providing an update to its video player in October, Google will update the ability to play videos in Google Drive. Let’s take a look at what the update means for you.
Google speeds things up!
So, what’s new in the latest update? Normally, when you upload a video to Drive, you always have the option to download it later. You can also get a 1:1 copy of the original. It’s just like how you can download from cloud storage. But in order to provide the built-in player, Drive also needs to transcode your video. The goal is to make the copy more suitable for streaming (like YouTube does when you upload your videos there). However, it may take some time for the transcoding process to finish. This can be very frustrating. But now Google claims that Drive is able to start playing your videos as soon as they are uploaded.
