Video on Google Drive won't play with AirPlay on iPhone and iPad

Trying to play a video on Patreon which is stored on Google Drive. Airplay doesn't work. I've also tried screen mirroring but there is no sound.

If you’re still having this issue: I was having this problem and I SOLVED IT. Make your videos “available offline” on google drive. They will then be able to airplay to your appletv. This has to be done to each individual file you wish to play, and on every device you wish to stream from. Do this using the “meatball menu” (the three horizontal dots) beside each video file.

Same issue for both iphone and ipad. Airplay doesn't work at all (video doesn't show up on the smart TV even though the device says the video is playing). Screen mirroring does cast the screen/video to the TV but there is no sound. I spent some time with Apple Support yesterday and came up empty. They believe it is a compatibility issue on the Google side of things. Really frustrating.
