We’re new to Discourse, using the version hosted by you. YouTube videos embed fine, but Vimeo don’t on our site. What are we doing wrong please? Here’s an example of one not working:
[![]() ](https://vimeo.com/322291179)
Note that the above is what SHOULD be happening (we know the privacy settings are wrong), but this isn’t happening on our site - we are just seeing the URL as typed.

Could it be related to this?

> I believe I understand what happened here. After talking to Vimeo support, the most likely explanation is that we ran into a rate limit on their oEmbed endpoint. They mentioned: One behavior our system checks for is the number of incoming requests made by a single IP; if a server were to make thousands of requests to Vimeo within only a minute or two, it is extremely likely the server’s IP would be banned. This didn’t make sense to me until I realised I’d been running a large rebake this wee…

Still not working for us - see attached screenshot. YouTube links embed fine. Not sure where we go from here to fix this?
[https://vimeo.com/322458676](https://vimeo.com/322458676) is the problem Vimeo link.

That particular URL - [https://vimeo.com/322458676](https://vimeo.com/322458676) returns a 404 at Vimeo.

True for you, but it is enabled for our website domain so that’s not the issue. Also we now seem to be having problems with YouTube embeds, too - see attached.

Vimeo and YouTube oneboxing works here on meta and on my v2.3.0.beta3 +20 instance. The first troubleshooting step would be to figure out what is different in your instance.
- What is your Discourse version?
- Did you use the [standard install](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)?
- Does it work in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-discourse-safe-mode/53504)?
- Do you have any customizations?
- CDN?

Hi!! I’m having the same issue, but it works on [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true). What can I do for this to work on “normal” mode as well?
Thanks!!!

Edit: Makes a box, but not a clickable video anymore. (This vimeo video has the rights to be shown on other websites.)

Vimeo oneboxing (for public videos) regressed 11 days ago in [this commit](https://github.com/discourse/onebox/commit/a2a11e4a1203e8f3a612a98552245caaa11086f9) and the gem version was bumped. It was fixed the same day in [this commit](https://github.com/discourse/onebox/commit/b1f8eafd3f774029d4950946fdee751c02073e83) but the version was not bumped. I just bumped onebox version and Vimeo oneboxing now works as expected.
