 * Hi,
 * I just tried to post a video from google drive.. First it gave fatal error while
   making new post, which is first time ever happened to me. It does make a post
   when i tried to make a blank post without google embed code. Then on update it
   work fine but when i try to generate video thumbnail. It gave same error in video
   thumbnail box.
 * Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string
   in /home/user/wp-includes/kses.php on line 971
 * I think it’s plugin issue, not very sure though. Can you please check.
 * Thanks

 * Google Drive requires the use of an API key, so you’ll need to go to the providers
   section of the setting page and follow the directions for entering a Google API
   key. It’s easy and free and should solve your problem!

 * Just released version 2.5.1 which should fix the fatal error and instead display
   a nice message with instructions to enter a Google API key.
