      How do I Embed a Vimeo Trailer or Film?

      To securely embed your Vimeo film/trailer, follow these steps

      Choose one of Vimeo's supported streaming formats. Whether you prefer simple playback or interactive features and TV app exposure, Gathr supports multiple streaming options to fit your needs.

      Choose between these two Vimeo streaming formats:

      Vimeo Video Link - Basic Playback 

        • Simple playback experience
        • Supports Video on Demand (VOD)

      HLS Link - Q&A Enabled + TV Apps (Recommended)

        • Integrated Film playback + live introduction or Q&A

        • Supports Video on Demand (VOD)

        • Enhanced audience interaction through Zoom 

        • Gathr TV app playback enabled

      You must input either a Vimeo Video link or an HLS link for your Film to add your Film to Gathr.

      Which Vimeo link do you want to add to your Film?

      • In the upper right corner of your video dashboard select the three small dots next to the "Share" button; select Video File Links to access your Film's HLS link.

      • Once the Video File Links window appears, copy the HLS link.
