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… ??
