How do I add a video from Vimeo?

Modified on Tue, 24 Feb at 2:14 PM

Navigate to the page and select Edit this Page. Find the position you want to add a block and select the plus (+) icon.
From the dropdown, select Add Block.
In the Add Block modal, either:
- Use the Search field to find a block by keyword
- Select a block from your custom list of Favorites
- Scroll through the list of All Blocks to select one
- Use the various Categories to filter by block type
- Select a star icon to add or remove blocks in your Favorites list
Select Vimeo Player. The Add Vimeo Player form opens, with the height and width fields automatically populated using the recommended settings.
In a new window or tab, navigate to the video on Vimeo that needs to be added to the page and copy the URL from the address bar of the browser.
Return to the Add Vimeo Player form and complete the following settings:
- URL: Paste the copied Vimeo URL.
- Width: Adjust the default width if needed.
- Height: Adjust the default height if needed.
- Video Title: Enter a clear, descriptive title. Block titles will appear in the Insert Block dropdown when adding the image to tabs, accordions, or quiz blocks, and may also display in student-facing areas of the course, such as activity names in the Table of Contents.
- Transcript: Enter the transcript. Transcripts provide a text version of multimedia content, including key spoken, audio, and visual details, making it accessible to users who cannot see or hear the media and compatible with assistive technologies like refreshable Braille devices. They also make content searchable and give users—especially screen reader users—a flexible, readable alternative to real-time audio or video.
Once all the required sections have been saved, select the Add Block+ button to save the block to the page.
The new block will appear on the page in Edit Mode with a red, dotted outline indicating it's editable. Note that the video content is always disabled when in the edit page view.
Select the Publish My Edits button to save the block to the course page and see the content as it will appear to learners.

To add a video from YouTube, use the YouTube Video block.
To add a generic video, use the Generic Video block.
