Auto play of vimeo videos

The dialog box for copying a Vimeo embed code has optipons, including the option to autoplay. See a quick example here, with the AutoPlay option selected.

Thanks Michael, would you have the embed code used in the example? I tried putting the autoplay in the embed code and it still didn't work. I also couldn't see the option in the Vimeo dialogue box. Thanks, David.

THANK YOU!!

So glad to hear you found this thread helpful, Kristin! :) Be sure to reach out if you have any further questions!

Just for reference, see attached the .story file for my example above.

I am doing the same thing and clicked on the link that Michael left above but it's no longer a good link. Does anyone else have a good demo or at least the embed code for autoplaying a Vimeo? Thanks!

Hi Theresa!

Did you see the project file Michael attached in this latest post? I've attached it here as well. It looks like it may be a Storyline 2 file. 

Have a look, and let us know if that's what you had in mind!

Thanks for your reply Alyssa. I'm using Presenter '13 so I couldn't open the storyline file. 

Ah, sorry for the confusion Theresa - but this discussion was in the Storyline section of ELH. Since you're struggling with the embed code for a Vimeo video I'd love to take a look at what you're using and I can add that to a Presenter course to share with you. Do you have code or a link to the video that you can share here? 

Also, here's a quick tutorial on how to embed videos into Presenter '13.

Hello.

I used to have success with the above code for autoplaying vimeo videos, but not anymore.

Until very recently, I successfully made Vimeo videos autoplay when they are embedded into Storyline by adding ?autoplay=1 after the video ID like this: (which is how I believe the file Alyssa Gomez attached above works as well):

<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/267295311?autoplay=1" width="999" height="562" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

For some reason, this has stopped working. The video appears to want to autoplay because the pause button is activated, but you have to click the pause button and then click play to make the video play.

Does anyone have any idea what might have changed that using the code above no longer works to autoplay and if there's anything else I can do?

Vimeo instructs you to click Share on your video > Show Options > Select Autoplay. Then get the embed code. That has never worked for me, but the above has… up until now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We have several courses that pull in Vimeo videos like this on our LMS.

Thank you!
