FAQ
Can I use the Vimeo app offline?
No, the app needs an internet connection to stream videos live from Vimeo.
The Vimeo app isn't working with my video URL. Is there another way to show it?
Yes, use the Embed app instead:
In Vimeo, click Share on the video and select the embed option to copy the iframe code.
Create a new Embed app instance and paste the iframe code.
To enable autoplay and looping, edit the
srcURL in the iframe code: remove any existing query parameters after the?and replace them with?autoplay=1&loop=1.
