Hi there, Damien. Thanks for sharing and providing a sample embed code. I'm seeing the same thing on my end. I tested YouTube videos with the "begin at" parameter, and it was respected.
Let me document this for my team so we can figure out why this is happening! I'll update you here with any changes.
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:
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.
Hi, it seems this works only with Public Videos, our videos need to be kept with a private link on VIMEO. Any other workaround for setting the start time that could be used with private link vimeo embed ?
I don't have experience adding parameters to private links, so hopefully the community can chime in with their experience. You may also want to reach out to Vimeo support here!
To make the embedded Vimeo video start at a specific time, I got the Embed link from the Vimeo "Share" options, then added #t=60s to the end of the URL, as shown below:

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.
Excellent little work around, this will be fine for our course modules - thank you for the quick response,

Hi Vincent!
Vimeo's help center document states that the #t parameter should work on all videos. https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001494447-Using-Player-Parameters

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. I tried your work-around but it didn't work. Have there been any developments to get this to work?
Never mind, just me being an idiot - the work-around is working! :)
Hi Vicki - thanks for the update. Except for the idiot part! We're all learning. ❤️
Hello,
The work around doesnt seem to work for me.
I can't share the actual link with you but my share link looks like this: https://vimeo.com/128123120/31f5askeia
When i add a start time, Rise says that Vimeo denied acces to the video.
