Paste the video link.
Unlisted videos
The copied code already includes the privacy hash.

Title, author and avatar
Follow the video’s saved embed settings.
Hide them in the code with title=0, byline=0, portrait=0.
Autoplay
Add autoplay=1 yourself, plus muted=1 so browsers allow it.
One switch adds both.
Viewer tracking
On unless you add dnt=1.
dnt=1 is on by default.

Why Vimeo says “Video unavailable”

Embedding is set to Nowhere

In Vimeo, open the video → Share → Embed and check Where can this be embedded. Nowhere means the video plays only on vimeo.com. Switch it to Anywhere or Specific domains.

Your site isn’t in Specific domains

Add your domain to the list. A domain covers its direct subdomains (blog.example.com) but not deeper ones, and wildcards don’t work. The limit is 50 domains per video.

The video is Private

Every privacy setting except Private allows embedding. Change it to Unlisted, Public or Hide from Vimeo if it should play on your site.

Unlisted link without the hash

Unlisted links end with a hash: vimeo.com/123456789/abc123def4. Without it the player says “This video does not exist”. Paste the full link so the code gets h=abc123def4.

Viewers are asked for a password

That’s expected for password-protected videos: viewers enter the password in the player, no Vimeo account needed. Change the privacy setting if you don’t want a password.

Background mode or the player color doesn’t apply

background=1, color and controls=0 need a paid plan on the video owner’s Vimeo account.

Vimeo privacy settings and embedding

Two settings decide whether your Vimeo video plays on your site: who can watch it, and where it can be embedded.

Privacy setting
Plays on your site?
Public
Yes
Unlisted
Yes, when the code includes the privacy hash (h=)
Password
Yes, after the viewer types the password in the player
Hide from Vimeo
Yes — it’s meant for embedding only
Private
No

Public

Plays on your site?

Yes

Unlisted

Plays on your site?

Yes, when the code includes the privacy hash (h=)

Password

Plays on your site?

Yes, after the viewer types the password in the player

Hide from Vimeo

Plays on your site?

Private

No

Then check Where can this be embedded in the video’s Share → Embed settings:

  • Anywhere — any website can show it.

  • Nowhere — it plays only on vimeo.com.

  • Specific domains — only the sites you list, up to 50. Not available on Free and Basic plans.
