Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Embed for Vimeo plugin is the easiest way to embed Vimeo videos in WordPress. This plugin extends the default Vimeo embed with advanced player parameters.

Unlike other Vimeo plugins, It doesn’t replace your on-page video embed code with JavaScript/HTML code. Loading a video with JavaScript doesn’t provide any video SEO benefit as a search engine crawler will only see some code instead of the actual video object.

Embed for Vimeo is easy to use because there is no setting to configure. It uses the oEmbed API so your videos will be responsive and provide all the benefits that core WordPress Vimeo embed has to offer. Vimeo videos on your website will continue to work even if you choose to deactivate the plugin.

Features

  • Responsive and mobile friendly.
  • Proper Vimeo video embed with no additional JavaScript code.
  • No setting to configure. Install, activate and start using it.
  • No Vimeo API key needed.

How to Use Embed for Vimeo

Create a new post/page and add a Vimeo block. Copy and paste the Vimeo video URL into it. For example:

com/1084536

airplay

To disable AirPlay in the player you can add “airplay=false” to your Vimeo URL.

airplay=false

autopause

This argument is enabled by default which pauses the current video when another Vimeo video on the same page starts to play. To permit simultaneous playback of all the videos on the page you can add “autopause=false” to your Vimeo URL.

autopause=false

byline

If you do not want to display the author name in the player, add “byline=false” to your Vimeo URL.

byline=false

title

If you do not want to display the video title in the player, add “title=false” to your Vimeo URL.

title=false

cc

This argument is enabled by default which enables closed captions in the player. To disable closed captions you can add “cc=false” to your Vimeo URL.

cc=false

This option has no effect if your video does not have captions or subtitles.

How to Add Multiple Arguments

You can add multiple arguments to your Vimeo URL with &.

autopause=false&byline=false

For a single argument? needs to be used.
