The discussion is about issues with embedding private Vimeo videos. KayL initially encountered problems after Vimeo changed their settings, requiring embed links instead of plain links. They tried posting the full embed code but it didn’t work as expected.
After investigating, KayL realized they needed to update the video settings to include their domain. However, Vimeo’s response was unclear, and they seemed to be blaming the format of the embed link.
Falco suggested trying a modified iframe code, but this didn’t work for KayL. davidkingham then suggested changing the video’s security settings to “hidden from Vimeo” and adding the domain to the embed section, which ultimately worked for KayL.
Jagster shared a related issue where they had previously encountered problems with Varnish filtering hashes.
We have all our course videos on Vimeo, set to a private link.
Up until now pasting the plain link has worked, even for private videos, but Vimeo have changed the settings and only embed video links will work:
They recommend we post the full embed: (I know the video won’t show as this domain is not specified), but this does not even show it is a video on our posts… ??
Plain link: https://vimeo.com/609565420/16d945a64c
This is what shows:
I did make a mistake early on - needed to change the domain on the video settings to the forum
But this is the response from Vimeo:
The final thought from Vimeo:
This will work:
https://player.vimeo.com/video/609565420?h=16d945a64c
but not
https://vimeo.com/609565420?h=16d945a64c
nor
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/609031169" width="640" height="564" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen></iframe>
And they are blaming format ???
If Vimeo got more strict with their private embed rules, I guess you have to comply.
Can you try
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/609031169?h=16d945a64c" width="640" height="564" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I just started having the problem as well, it seems they are not allowing embeds of private videos anymore. If you change your security settings of the video to hidden from vimeo and ensure your domain is listed under the embed section it should fix the problem.
This does not show anything.
From Vimeo:
The reason why the Vimeo link added with privacy hash isn’t working completely depends upon the hosting platform as well as website builder because some could strip off the hash code even though you embed it correctly.
I do not know if that may be the case?
Thanks David - that will work fine for us
This doesn’t help here and now but I’ve fighted because of that reason. It took for me a while to realize I was filtering hashes with Varnish.
