# 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 + post-screening 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?
- [**Vimeo Video Link**](https://support.gathr.com/how-do-i-embed-a-vimeo-trailer-or-film#vimeo_video_link)
- [**Vimeo HLS Link**](https://support.gathr.com/how-do-i-embed-a-vimeo-trailer-or-film#HLS)
**What about subtitles?**
Vimeo subtitles on an embedded player work by uploading an SRT or WebVTT file to your video's settings, which adds a "CC" icon to the player. The viewer can then use this icon to turn subtitles on and off. [Learn more](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0bRyKG9LTc)
### Vimeo Video Link
Follow the instructions below to add a Vimeo video to Gathr so it's viewable during your Event, but hidden on Vimeo :
- Upload your Film or trailer to Vimeo.
- In the upper right corner of your video dashboard select the **Share** button, then choose the **Embed only** option.
- After you get your Privacy Settings configured, you can add your Vimeo Player settings.
Find the "**Appearance**" tab in the upper left-hand corner.
We recommend you configure your settings as follows:
- **Engagement**
- Hide All
- **Details**
- Hide All
- **Controls**
- Enable the following:
- Auto
- Progress bar
- CC/Subtitles
- Chromecast
- AirPlay
- Fullscreen
- Skipping forward
- Disable all other options
Don't forget to save your selected Player settings.
- Finally, select **Share** in the top right, and then choose **Copy Link**, then paste this link into your Film or trailer field on your Gathr Film Management dashboard.
### Vimeo HLS Link
- 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.
Note: All correctly configured HLS links will end in ".m3u8" so be sure yours also ends with this combination of characters.
Finally, paste this link into your HLS Link field on your Film Management dashboard, and save your new settings.
