vimeo provider settings

Setting: Disable Controls

Disables the default Vimeo interface and enables the “Minimalist” video player interface provided by LifterLMS Advanced Videos.

When this setting is enabled students can only Play and Pause the video.

This setting is only available to Vimeo Pro and Business accounts. If you enable the setting and the video controls still display it’s likely because you don’t have the proper account type.

Setting: Disable Playback Speed

Enabling this setting removes the ability for users to choose the playback speed of their videos.

This setting is only available to Vimeo Pro accounts. If you enable the setting and the playback speed options still display it’s likely because you don’t have the proper account type.

Setting: Player Color

Configure the player branding primary color. This color is used for the play button and progress bar.

Setting: Disable Title

When enabled, hides the display of the video’s title within the embedded player.

Setting: Disable Byline

When enabled, hides the display of the video owner’s username within the embedded player.

Setting: Disable Portrait

When enabled, hides the display of the video owner’s avatar within the embedded player.

Vimeo also has settings within the embed settings such as disabling specific parts of the play bar if you’re looking for a higher level of customization
