To ensure your videos load correctly on your LearnWorlds site after connecting your Vimeo account, you need to configure your video privacy settings. Additionally, you must hide the default Vimeo player to allow the advanced LearnWorlds interactive video player to take over.
In this article, we will learn how to adjust the necessary settings of your Vimeo account.
Vimeo Account Settings
Follow these steps to adjust your Vimeo settings:
1. Navigate to your Vimeo Account Settings from the drop-down menu of your Profile icon.
2. Go to Videos → Embed presets and +Add new Preset.
3. Give the name you wish to this preset, e.g., learnworlds-settings-Final, and click on Continue.
4. Scroll down to navigate to the settings of your preset. In the Player Preferences, you need to select Always hide for all the options, keep unchecked the checkboxes, and select the option Empty in the After video field like the screenshot below:
5. Navigate to Videos → Upload defaults, and in the Choose embed preset to apply to your videos field, select the Preset you have created for LearnWorlds.
If you have already uploaded videos in your account that you would like to use in your LearnWorlds school, activate the checkbox Also apply to all existing videos under the Choose embed preset to apply to your videos field.If your school uses a custom domain, click Add domain in the Where can your videos be embedded field and enter your domain.
- If you upload videos before configuring these settings in Vimeo, you may encounter an error. Once the changes are applied, all new videos will play as expected.- For previously uploaded videos, you can either play the video using the Vimeo ID or re-upload them to your video library.
