Overview

Vimeo is a popular video hosting service that can create high engagement with students and which is a powerful tool to use in your PlutoLMS courses. Vimeo videos can be embedded into PlutoLMS pages.

Note: Privacy options - Vimeo is a very affordable video-hosting service with a wide range of video privacy settings. Click here to learn more on their website.

We specifically recommend using the Domain Level Privacy option, which allows you to limit your video viewing to your LMS domain. This means that users can only view your Vimeo video from your LMS site and this cannot be viewed or shared elsewhere. Click here to learn more on how to set this up within Vimeo.

In essence, you can click on "Settings" under your video. Then, under the General tab, select "Privacy". Here you'll be able to define your privacy settings and set your LMS domain.

Retrieve the Vimeo Video Embed Code

Step 1: Click on the share button under the video.

Step 2: Set your Vimeo embed options (we recommend a responsive output to allow for screen size adjustment) and copy the embed code once you're done.

Tip: Adjust the Vimeo output code to optimise video sizing.

Embed Video Code

Step 1: In the relevant course, click on "Edit course material."

Step 2: Under the relevant module, click on "Add course content."

Step 3: Click on the "Page" activity.

Step 4: Give your video page (1) a name then (2) open the HTML editor </> and embed the Vimeo video code as shown below.

Step 5: Once you're done, scroll down and click on "Save and display."

Use Case Example:

As a training manager, you are responsible for conducting compliance training for your organisation's employees. One of the topics you need to cover is data privacy and security. You decide to incorporate a video into your LMS course to engage and educate your learners effectively.

For example: You can easily embed a privacy-protected video into your course using PlutoLMS's integration with Vimeo. By leveraging Vimeo's domain-level privacy settings, you ensure that the video can only be viewed within your LMS domain, providing a secure learning environment.

This enables you to effectively communicate important concepts, demonstrate best practices, and enhance overall knowledge retention, ensuring that your training programs are impactful and meet the needs of your organisation.
