After search around the web, finally found the answer. So, if we want to play video from Google Drive, we must get direct download link from our video. In example, we got this link from our video in google drive 'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=xxxxxxxx'. And we can put direct download link into :

_controller = VideoPlayerController.network('https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=xxxxxxxx');

Then the video can be play.

i think you are using 'video_player 0.10.10' library.

It is useful to review the documentation on puv.dev.

If you are using IOS emulators, you should pay attention to this warning

'Warning: The video player is not functional on iOS simulators. An iOS device must be used during development / testing. '

Add the following entry to your Info.plist file, located in /ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<Key> nsapptransportsecurity </ key>
<Dict>
   <Key> nsallowsarbitraryloads </ key>
   <True/>
</ Dict>

Android

Ensure the following permission is present in your Android Manifest file, located in /android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android: name = "android.permission.INTERNET" />
