vimeo embed

[adam]

When using a vimeo embed it currently doesn't allow you to display no vimeo controls whilst taking advantage of the performance advantages of vimeo. ie the ability for the video to render specific resolution based on users connection or internet speed etc.

Currently the only way to get a vimeo url to work without controls and autoplaying is by using the external url, and manually selecting what resolution vimeo video to use.

Is it possible for the vimeo embed to accept the url's from vimeo, including having the ability to select if options for controls, autoplay, looping, mute.

Hey Adam, as far as I know, this minimal style of Vimeo embed was only possible with some paid Vimeo account.

It seems like how the embed looks is mainly controlled within your Vimeo settings and not when inserting a Vimeo embed.

If you read the article above, you can see the embed settings are done inside your Vimeo account settings.

Here you can see the differences between a free account and a paid Vimeo account:

Hey Armin, thanks for the response

That is correct, most of the minimal features of Vimeo embed is via a paid account; however, even when adding ?background=1, it doesn't work.

Trying both YouTube/Vimeo inset and Embed both equal the same result, no autoplaying, vimeo play button in the center at the most minimal, which isn't correct.
