Inserting a vimeo video as an embedded web object
I have successfully followed instructions from this forum on how to embed a Youtube video as a web object in order that it can be published as html5 but cannot replicate this to embed a video on Vimeo. Please can someone give me the code equivalent to www.youtube.com/embed/XXXXXXXXX toallow me to do this.
Many thanks

Chris, you might want to check with Vimeo support. This link makes it sound like it's not currently possible with their API: https://vimeo.com/forums/api/topic:270169
Thanks Mike for finding and sharing that link here! If you're able to determine a workaround for this set up Chris, please feel free to share it here as others may stumble upon the same issue.

I probably should have read that post a bit better.
When we have Vimeo videos embedded, there is an inconsistent grey rule that shows up around the web object (the web object plays fine). Sometimes it's grey, sometimes it's white, and sometimes it's black.
The dimensions of the video and the dimensions of the web object are the same.

Hi, Alex -- Thanks so much for the clarification and I am glad we are now on the same page! It looks like similar question was asked over here in this thread and there are links to some suggestions you can try to remove the rule/line around your web object. Please let us know if that helps or if you still need assistance! :)

I have embedded a Vimeo video as a webobject (https://player.vimeo.com/video/147132394) on a layer.
I want to play the module as html5 (my customer doe not like Flash) so I changed this line in the imsmanifest.xml:
<resource identifier="__5WCuNR3KW93_course_id_RES" type="webcontent" href="index_lms_html5.html" adlcp:scormtype="sco">.
When I play the module in SCORM Cloud or Moodle the layer comes up, but I cannot start the video (it looks like the Vimeo player is not accessible.
