Embedding Google Drive Videos using HTML5 video

Question

I am searching for a way to embed Google Drive videos using the HTML5 <video> tag. The current option isn't exactly adequate for what I'd like to do with the player. The embedded link directly from Google Drive doesn't seem to allow you to remove the button that opens the video in a separate tab nor customize the appearance of the player. Are there any ways to get the actual file from a drive link and embed it into an HTML <video> tag?

I'm aware of such "proxy player" scripts but they appear very sketchy and pricey. The old methods such as getting the download link no longer work nor does the /get_player method. Any insight would be much appreciated.

<video>
    <source src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=videoID" type='video/mp4'>
</video>

Replace "videoID" in the link with your video ID. (to find it - right click on the Google Drive video, get shareable link)
