Widget for Vimeo

[richvergo]

The YouTube widget works fine, but now I'm considering adding Vimeo videos. Does anyone know if there's a widget for Vimeo? I have XWD 9 & 10 premium.

Thanks in advance for those who respond.

I think this may help. If not there a few other articles on how to embed a Vimeo video here https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Embed+Vimeo+videos

Thanks Gary, that information was helpful. So here is the procedure I did that may be useful to others:

1) Copy embedded code from Vimeo or any other video site.
2) On your project's web page, draw a rectangle where you want the video to be displayed.
3) Right click the rectangle and select Web Properties.
4) Go to Placeholder.
5) Click on HTML code (body).
6) Paste embedded code.
7) Within the HTML code, change the size of the thumbnail to fit you page space. Vimeo has it at 630x354, which is a 1.78 ratio between width and height. In my case, it worked out to 500x280 size.
8) Click on Regenerate Placeholder Image Automatically
9) Click on apply and then OK.
10) Preview web page and examine the results. Mine was perfect.
