Vimeo autoplay using CMS

Design help CMS
1

I’ve built a portfolio site and am trying to use my Vimeo videos as part of my CMS. It is working well outside of that I need them to autoplay. I’ve tried using “?autoplay=1&muted=1&loop=1” after the link but to no avail. I can not manually adjust the embed settings as it is a part of the CMS. I’ve seen that browsers don’t allow autoplay without it being muted and I’ve tried adjusting for that as well. Currently, it’s only on the “IL Committed Experience” page. Also, I’m on a paid Vimeo plan and it says I have full control over the video player so don’t think it’s an issue on their end. Is there a way to use embed code while still in CMS? Is there a way to do this? Thank you for any help in advance. New to this all so not sure what the limitations are.

If you’re using Webflow’s video fields than you’re not using Vimeo’s player directly, you’re using Embedly’s player. Those extra layers mean that your standard URLs might not work.

The way I always deal with this is to store the Vimeo link ( no querystring ) in the CMS in a standard Link field.

Then place an Embed with my HTML player code in it, and form the src so that it’s my vimeo URL from the CMS, plus whatever params I want like autoplay.

If you want a full player experience, it makes sense to just embed Vimeos since you have some configuration options there, and see if it meets your needs.
