Play Media trigger with Vimeo
Sep 04, 2015

I'm trying to add a slide trigger that will automatically start playing an embedded Vimeo movie as the slide starts. Here are my settings:
Unfortunately, this isn't working. When I publish the course, the video doesn't start automatically. I have to manually click the play button.
Anyone else run into this and have a workaround?
Thanks!

I figured it out! I didn't know you had to modify the Vimeo embed code to "Autoplay". Once I did that, I copied the embed code and re-inserted it into my slide. Works like a charm now!
Glad you were able to get this sorted Tara and thanks for popping in with an update.
This doesn't work for me. The slide automatically LOADS but does not play. Any other ideas?
Hey Cynthia - Sorry to hear that you had trouble with this as well. Did you check out the Vimeo embed code as Tara mentioned above as well?
If you need someone to take a look, you are welcome to share the story file.
Could you please share what the Vimeo embed code is for adding a video? I'm using Presenter '13. Thanks!
Hi Theresa,
The embed code itself will depend on the video you're using, but you can grab the embed code from Vimeo videos as shown here:
You will then want to add in the video as a standard video from a website or insert as a web object.
Hope that helps!
