"The API developer key is invalid"
If you see this error while you're importing a recording from Google Drive, it means something in your browser or network is blocking or altering the request before it reaches Google.
Most likely causes
This error is almost always caused by one of the following:
Privacy or ad-blocking browser extensions, such as uBlock Origin (in advanced mode), AdGuard, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, Referer Control, or Disconnect.
Built-in browser privacy settings, such as Brave's Shields or Firefox's strict tracking protection settings.
A corporate network, proxy, or security appliance (common with tools like Zscaler, Netskope, or Palo Alto) that inspects or strips traffic.
Antivirus software with a "web shield" or "safe browsing" module (such as Kaspersky or Avast) that modifies web requests.
How to fix it
Try connecting Google Drive again in an incognito or private browser window with all extensions disabled, and while off any VPN or corporate network. If it works there, one of the items above is the cause.
From there:
Disable privacy/ad-blocking extensions one at a time (or add an exception for this site) until the connection succeeds, then leave that extension off or excepted for this site going forward.
Check your browser's built-in privacy or tracking-protection settings and lower them for this site if needed.
If you're on a work or school network, ask your IT team whether a proxy or security tool is filtering traffic to Google, and request an exception for this site.
If none of the above resolves it, try a different browser or network (e.g., your phone's hotspot) to confirm the issue follows your original setup. Your best next step is checking with your IT department (if you're on a work network).
