Our engineers have identified a video playback issue. 😖 After a video has been created and uploaded to Drive, if the user wants to skip ahead or rewind the video then the screen will freeze but the audio will play normally. This will happen if the video is played within Drive or if the drive link is shared and opened. We have identified it to be a Google Drive issue, and have opened a case🕵️♂️ with the Google Drive team so that they can identify the root cause and hope they are able to deploy a fix soon. We assure you, your video(s) are not lost. In the meantime, please download your videos as a workaround.

The Screencastify Team has continued to monitor this situation and it appears that videos in Google Drive are no longer having playback issues after allowing for some additional processing time. 🥳. All users should be able to send their shareable links to Screencastify videos and play them in Google Drive without issue. Thanks! -Screencastify Team 😃
