WiscWeb - Embed Vimeo videos
The following document will walk you through how to embed a Vimeo video to a Page or Post in WiscWeb.
Embed Vimeo videos on pages
There are two ways in which you can embed Vimeo videos on Pages: using the Embed content page element or just Pasting in the URL.
Embed content page element
The Embed Content page element currently supports Vimeo. For this, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Vimeo and find the video you'd like to share
- Copy either the URL for the video from the address bar or use the share link that is included just below the video
OR
- Navigate back to WiscWeb
- On your page, add the Embed Content page element where you'd like the video to appear
- Paste the copied URL into the page element
- Publish the page
Paste in the URL
The simplest way to add a Vimeo video to a Text Block is to simply paste in the URL:
- Navigate to Vimeo and find the video you'd like to share
- Copy either the URL for the video or the share link that is included just below the video
OR
- Navigate back to WiscWeb
- On your page, make sure you have a Text Block added
- Paste the copied URL directly into the Text Block
- Publish the page
- Navigate to Vimeo and find the video you'd like to share
- Copy either the URL for the video or the share link that is included just below the video
OR
- Navigate back to WiscWeb
- On your post, paste the copied URL into the text body where you want the video to appear
- Publish the post
Troubleshooting
- The current embed options do not support some settings for your videos. For example, you may not be able to have the video start at a specific spot or show a custom thumbnail image.
