To begin, upload a video of up to 1GB to Google Docs in one of the following formats: Google’s WebM (Vp8 codec and Vorbis Audio codec), .Mpeg4, 3GPP, MOV, .AVI, .MPEGPS, .WMV and .FLV.
The maximum resolution for optimal playback is 1920×1080.
Once you’ve uploaded your video, simply click on the file from your Documents list and it will start streaming in the Google Docs Video Player.
