Hi again.  😊  Just a quick note:  I was able to use the start time parameter in the iframe embed code, even though it didn't work with just inserting the URL.  

This is what I used, from the Vimeo "Share" options:

<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/172825105" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

Once I copied that embed code into the field, I manually moved my cursor to the end of the URL and added #t=22s?autoplay=0 and hit Enter.  Even with the autoplay parameter set to disable autoplaying, the video starts immediately.  You can control this with a Continue button. 

Check out my course here.  Let me know if you see the same!  

I'm still going to find out more about the URL with parameter not working, but in the meantime, I hope you can use this workaround.
