Hello,

I pasted the following [link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zQ4-xoNdt5ohychf6voM3tTUCndVtbAY/view) into our Discourse.

Unlike here, it’s being embedded with a player but cannot be played.

Demo: [Home | Sheetgo Help Center](https://community.sheetgo.com/t/error-cannot-call-method-getevents-of-null/207/10?u=bobby)

Any idea why this is?

Thanks and regards

The Discourse site will need to be updated. It’s running a relatively old version of Discourse, so it hasn’t picked up the changes mentioned here:
