I have been trying to submit my application for Connect Live 2019 but it keeps throwing an error at me.
Where I need to upload my shared Google video, it requires that the link start with http (obviously) and it does.
But no matter what I do, it still won’t take my application because it still keeps showing that the form is incorrect.
Can anybody help me with this? Any suggestions or ideas who I can speak with to figure this out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Where you saved the video
I guess you are sharing the video link from photos app.
But i think you have to upload it on Youtube or Google drive on your account and then share the same link in the application form to get the application submitted.
The instructions say you need to share from either YouTube or Google Drive. You are putting a Google Photos link. I would assume that is the problem or fix that first and try again. I guess the error message isn’t so descriptive 
you have to upload it on Youtube or Google drive on your account and then share the same link in the application form to get the application submitted.
@ShanahBell it is definitely the wrong place where you uploaded the video as @nikunjchachan and @Denise_Barlock mentioned.
The application form only accepts YouTube and Google Drive links and it is checking if it is one of those type. Move the video on YouTube or Google Drive, make sure it is public visible for YouTube or shared with everyone who has the link for Google Drive and use that link instead.
Hi @ShanahBell

Hope this can help you, the post is very clear
After looking at the destination again, it appears you are correct. The video was saved to my Google photos but for some reason refused to let me download it or save it to my Google Drive. First time I have ever had this problem! So I had to go into my YouTube channel and uploaded it there instead. Submission sent!
Thanks for your help!
Yes, it would have been helpful if the error message was a bit more descriptive. Because I was using an http address. But I got it fixed. Had to use YouTube instead because my Google Drive was acting wonky for some reason today.
You are correct. It wouldn’t connect to my Google Drive, for some reason, only Google Photos. So I went the YouTube route instead and was able to successfully get it submitted. Thanks!
Yes, I watched that video and it was very informative. I thought I was sharing it from my Google Drive, but it appeared it was from my Google Photos instead. I couldn’t get it to share onto my Google Drive, for some weird reason, so I had to upload it to my YouTube channel instead. I got it done and submitted though!
Thank you for responding so quickly!
Very good & congratulations that you submitted your entry. Surely I will also try… Hope we will be selected & will meet there…
Thank you, @GeoThak ! It would be great if we are selected as well. I would love to meet all of you in person there!
Add your video in YouTube or google drive then upload it …
Can you send me the link you used to access the application? I cant access the application at all. Thanks!
