What Redditors are Saying

Customizing Vimeo Player Appearance

TL;DR To customize the appearance of your Vimeo player, you can use embed presets, adjust settings directly in the Vimeo interface, or utilize third-party plugins for further customization.

Embed Presets and Settings

Vimeo allows users to set up embed presets that save specific parameters for video appearance. These presets can be created by configuring desired settings such as removing logos or sharing options, and then saving them under the embed tab [1:2]. However, it's important to note that these presets might not affect all player settings, especially when using third-party platforms [1:1].

Third-Party Integration Issues

When embedding Vimeo videos through third-party tools like Elementor, default settings might override your Vimeo account preferences, causing titles and other elements to appear unexpectedly [3:3]. Users have reported needing to manually adjust each video setting in Elementor, which can be cumbersome for large video libraries [3]. A lightweight plugin was developed to automatically hide intro titles, portraits, and bylines in Elementor [3:1].

Developer Updates and Parameters

For developers, Vimeo recently updated how video appearance settings interact with embed script parameters, prioritizing developer-set parameters over web GUI settings [2]. This change aims to provide more control over video appearance when using custom scripts or third-party players [2:1].

Troubleshooting Playback and Privacy Settings

Issues with video playback size or privacy settings can often be traced back to viewing mode or privacy configurations. For instance, videos viewed from a library might appear differently than when accessed via a private link [4:1]. Additionally, domain-level privacy settings can restrict where a video is playable, requiring adjustments in the "Where can this video be embedded?" section on Vimeo [5:1].

Recommendations Beyond Discussions

If you're managing a large number of videos, consider automating your workflow with scripts or plugins that can batch update settings across multiple videos. Additionally, regularly check Vimeo's updates and community forums for new features or changes that might impact video customization options.

ORIGINAL POST

I really despise having to manually update each individual player setting to “remove Vimeo logo,” “remove sharing,” etc… every time I upload a new video.

Am I missing something? Google isn’t helping. 🫠 TIA!

Yes, all possible. Setup all of your parameters in the various settings areas, then save that as a preset. I’m not at my computer at the moment, but I believe the ‘Save Preset’ dialogue is on the embed tab. The current state of your video at the moment you create the preset will become the parameters of that preset. They can be tweaked and overwritten at any time.

Doing this from memory so I might not be able to give you specific instructions until I’m at my desk tomorrow. Go into your settings, accessed from your profile picture, and somewhere in the account settings you can define the default upload by selecting the preset name. Sorry, I can’t be more specific, I set mine over a year ago.

If you can’t find it I’ll look at my account again.

Unfortunately I believe you're referring to "embed" presets (/manage/videos/xxxx) which doesn't effect "player" settings the way that this link does: manage/videos/xxx/xxx/player.

When I share a video link to the platform that I'm using, it automatically embeds it and the only way I can turn off certain elements is from the video page (/player).

No idea why these two settings spaces don't seem to be working together but they're not... 🤔

Developers - quick update on parameters vs appearance priority.

Posted by Vimean22 · in r/vimeo · 5 months ago

I saw a post earlier asking about a change in behavior when using some 3rd party plugins to embed your Vimeo videos using another player to display the video. The post has since been deleted by the user but I wanted to come here to give some info for any developers curious if something changed.

We did make a change - one that hopefully makes lives better for developers.

In the past the video appearance settings on the web GUI were higher priority than the parameters you would set in your embed script, specifically for 3rd party players. You would have to go into Vimeo and set the video appearance settings how you wanted the videos to show up. For instance 'let user decide'. Those appearance settings were higher priority than parameters.

We changed the priority so your parameters would get earlier consideration. You no longer have to go to Vimeo to set the appearance of every new video (or apply a preset / default). You can change it via parameters while you're building your site. Even have these settings dynamic depending on your needs.

Note - this is a proof of concept post. The info is very real, but Vimeo hasn't used this space to share minor updates before.

I'm curious of this kind of thing would be helpful in the subreddit. Feel free to comment or DM your thoughts on how comms like this could help or hinder this space.

Vimeo titles suddenly showing in Elementor video widget – anyone else?

Posted by Independent-Swim6775 · in r/elementor · 2 months ago

Hey everyone,

I'm embedding Vimeo videos using the Elementor video widget. Recently, titles, byline, and profile picture started showing on all videos — even though I disabled them in my Vimeo account settings.

The issue: The Elementor video widget has these options turned ON by default, and I’d have to manually turn them off for each individual video. With over 1,000 videos across multiple websites, that’s just not feasible.

Elementor support says nothing changed on their end and pointed me to Vimeo. Vimeo support says the embed code (from Elementor) overrides the Vimeo settings.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any workaround to globally disable title/byline/portrait without editing every video one by one?

THANK YOU!!!!

video playback sizing different -would love some help!

Posted by write12345 · in r/vimeo · 1 year ago

Hello- I can't seem to understand why my video playback preview looks different on Vimeo than on most other accounts. It looks smaller...when I open other users videos they appear much larger in my browser - also am I on darkmode somehow bc the others are white? Thanks for your help. My video is "Camino for life" the other is a reference of another video. I have it "published" as an unlisted video - could that be the reason?
Thanks!

The screenshot of your photo is because it's viewed from your video library - try viewing the private link in an incognito tab or another browser and it should (?) look the same as that other video (which, if you haven't watched it already, is a TRIP).

Issue with Vimeo video not showing on page

We are using Elementor in Wordpress, and I want to embed this Vimeo video. I have triple-checked on the Vimeo side that we can embed this video anywhere, and that it is set to public. So I'm wondering if it's an issue on the Wordpress side.

Anyone experience this problem before?

It's not a WP issue. This is from Vimeo:

“Sorry, Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here”

If you’re seeing this error in the player, the video you are watching has domain-level privacy enabled. Learn more at 'Set your video's viewing privacy before uploading'.  The video’s owner can adjust the domains where a video can appear within the “Where can this video be embedded?” section of the embed settings page.

If the domain is listed in your video settings page, but the error is still appearing, the domain specified in your address bar may be different from the domain sent to the Vimeo player. In these cases, a privacy error may appear. Contact a web developer to confirm if there is anything in your site's HTML code that could be blocking the referrer from reaching our player iframe.

I had the same issue. I searched on Google, no answer. Then I figure it out myself. Here is how to change the default.

1, go to your Vimeo account settings (via their desktop version)

2, select Videos from left side menu

3, select Embed presets. You should be able to see all the default settings you had saved.

From there, you can change and save the default end screen, and even apply new default to all the previous videos.

So if you go to settings in Vimeo, and then down to Videos -> Embed Presets.

You can create a new embed preset which has the end screen you'd like and you can apply to all existing videos and then you can also make it the default for future uploads.

It’s possible with custom development, but by default no theme I’m aware of supports displaying videos embedded from a third-party service like Vimeo amongst other product media.

You would instead upload the video file directly to the Media section of the product editing page in Shopify.

Vimeo UI has ALWAYS been rubbish. Not sure who directs their team but now, not only do they keep the 'MYSTERY MEAT' menu where your ID icon is, but the layout switches from left to right. Just try and and things to folders now... nightmare. Jeeeesh.

Came here to add to the complaints about the new UI. It's horribly dumbed down to the point where it's so simplistic that it's missing key features and makes the experience much less efficient for a pro video user.

I have a feeling the 'advanced' button was SUPPOSED to go to the old advanced controls page, but for me it just refreshes the page and loads the new UI again.

HOW TO GET TO THE OLD INTERFACE:
Click 'Analytics' on the right side, which brings you into the old interface, and then click GENERAL on the left.

How to customize Vimeo player appearance

Customizing the Vimeo Player Appearance: Key Considerations

  1. Player Settings:

    • Go to your Vimeo video settings and navigate to the "Embed" section.
    • Here, you can adjust various settings like player size, color, and controls.
  2. Color Customization:

    • You can change the color of the play button, progress bar, and other elements to match your branding. Look for the color options in the embed settings.
  3. Hide Controls:

    • If you want a cleaner look, you can choose to hide certain controls like the title, byline, or social sharing buttons.
  4. Custom Thumbnail:

    • Upload a custom thumbnail image for your video to make it more visually appealing before viewers click play.
  5. Advanced Customization (for Pro users):

    • If you have a Vimeo Pro account or higher, you can use the "Advanced" settings to further customize the player with CSS and JavaScript.
  6. Responsive Design:

    • Ensure that your player is responsive, so it looks good on all devices. Use the embed code that automatically adjusts to different screen sizes.

Recommendation:

  • For most users, the built-in customization options in the Vimeo settings will be sufficient. If you want to create a unique look that aligns with your brand, consider upgrading to a Pro account for advanced features. Always preview your changes to ensure they enhance the viewer experience without compromising functionality.
