What is Embedding

Embedding means to place an audio or video on a web page or blog post. The majority of video users and editors, along with video network services, provide the specific code which must be used to "embed" media on the website. Embedding code at one glance looks far more complicated, but the only thing that the users should do is copy the code and then paste it as it is.

Embedding allows users to take video and then post it on a website page outside of the Vimeo platform. In that sense, Vimeo users are allowed to embed their video on their website page, or blog to allow others to watch the video. Other people can visit the link of the web or blog, without even having to visit the official website of Vimeo.

How to Embed Videos from Vimeo

There are several steps and methods to embed videos from Vimeo platform right to your website or blog page. More preciously, there are three main ways that users should know regarding embedding. For instance, on the first step, users see a single video on a web page, although they can embed more than one video. In the second method, users will be able to display various thumbnails right from the last videos they created, and they can determine the number of videos on their own. However, none of these methods require the specific knowledge of coding, all the users need to embed videos is to copy the code generated by Vimeo, and then paste it.

In order to start embedding video, users should grab a code by simply clicking a "Share" button on any page of the Vimeo platform. Then users should select the embed code, copy, and then paste it the website they would like their video to appear. With just a simple click of the link - "+ Show options," users can get access to some basic options of customization that allows them to add a more personalized touch. These options are available to all Vimeo platform members, including Basic members on up to PRO and premium users. The provided options are fairly self-explanatory, which includes the size of the embedded video, autoplay, color of the player text, and other multiple features. However, the three main boxes right next to the button of "Intro" can provide users far more information for prospective viewers before they have even pressed the button "Play."

Also, users must select the "Title" whatever they have called their video, and then, they have to click the "Byline" button, which lets other viewers know who it is from with the user's Vimeo username. If a Vimeo member uses PRO or Plus version of the Vimeo platform, they will have a special badge, by which they allow others to know who they are. In addition to that, members can also use the "Social Media" buttons. These buttons can be used as a shortcut to embed their video into their platform of choice. Users should be aware that they will need to copy and paste the updated embed code to take effect.
