How to Add Vimeo Videos in Multimedia Lessons

Question

• How can I embed a Vimeo video in a Multimedia Lesson?
• I can't embed a Vimeo video
• Vimeo video embedding error

Solution

Vimeo videos can't be added to Multimedia Lessons by copying the normal Vimeo video link from a web browser address/URL bar.

Similar to YouTube videos, the Vimeo video link needs to be copied from the Embed video menu; on Vimeo you need to copy this link from the Embed window. Here's how to do that:

1. Click on the Share button on the video in Vimeo
2. In the Embed window, copy the part of the code that starts with https://player.vimeo.com/video/ (if Vimeo does not let you copy just part of the code, copy it all, and remove everything before and after the link you need, which will be in quotation marks - see GIF below)
3. Add the copied link in the Multimedia Lesson URL field
4. Preview your lesson to confirm the video is working
