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:

  1. Navigate to Vimeo and find the video you'd like to share
  2. Copy either the URL for the video from the address bar or use the share link that is included just below the video



    OR



  3. Navigate back to WiscWeb
  4. On your page, add the Embed Content page element where you'd like the video to appear
  5. Paste the copied URL into the page element

    Once you paste in your Vimeo URL, your video should populate within the Embed Content page element.

  6. 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:

  1. Navigate to Vimeo and find the video you'd like to share
  2. Copy either the URL for the video or the share link that is included just below the video



    OR

  3. Navigate back to WiscWeb
  4. On your page, make sure you have a Text Block added
  5. Paste the copied URL directly into the Text Block



  6. Publish the page

Embed Vimeo videos on posts

  1. Navigate to Vimeo and find the video you'd like to share
  2. Copy either the URL for the video or the share link that is included just below the video
