Do you want to embed a Vimeo video in Elementor? Adding video to your website helps you engage visitors and deliver your message in a format that text alone cannot match. Vimeo is a popular choice for hosting and embedding high-quality video without ads or forced recommendations. With the [Video widget](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/add-video-player-in-elementor/) in The Plus Addons for Elementor, you can embed a Vimeo video directly in the Elementor editor and control playback settings, branding elements, and visual options without any custom code. *To check the complete feature overview documentation of The Plus Addons for Elementor Video widget*, [click here](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/add-video-player-in-elementor/). **Best Used For:** - Portfolio and creative agency websites showcasing client work or reel videos hosted on Vimeo. - Online course and membership sites embedding lesson videos with controlled playback settings. - Product landing pages and sales pages using video demos to explain a product or service. ***Requirement - This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.*** [LIVE WIDGET LINK](https://theplusaddons.com/elementor-widget/video-player/) To do this, first [get the Vimeo video ID](https://www.weavers.space/answers/vimeo-video-id). Once you have the video ID, add the Video widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor to the page and follow the steps. 1. Select **Vimeo** from the **Source** dropdown under the **Video** tab. 2. Then add the video ID in the **Vimeo Id** field. ![Video widget Source dropdown set to Vimeo in The Plus Addons for Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/tp-video-add-vimeo-video-id.webp) From the **Video Options** tab, you can adjust how the video behaves on the page. To apply visual effects like grayscale or blur to the embedded video, see [How to Add a CSS Filter to a Video in Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/add-a-css-filter-to-a-video-in-elementor/). You will find the following playback options – - **AutoPlay** – Enable this toggle to start the video automatically when the page loads. Use this when the video is the primary focus of the page and you want visitors to begin watching without a click. - **Mute** – Enable this toggle to silence the audio when the video plays. This is required when AutoPlay is enabled, since most browsers block autoplaying video with sound. - **Loop** – Enable this toggle to repeat the video continuously. Use this for background or ambient video sections where continuous playback is needed. - **Video Touch Disable** – Toggle this to enable or disable touch interaction on mobile. Disable touch when you want to prevent accidental taps from pausing the video on touchscreen devices. - **Controls Color** – Set the color of the playback controls overlay. Match this to your site's color scheme to maintain a consistent visual style. - **Intro Title** – Show or hide the video title Vimeo displays at the start of playback. Hide it for a cleaner, distraction-free player. - **Intro Portrait** – Show or hide the video creator's profile image. Hide it when embedding a client or brand video where the creator identity should not appear. - **Intro Byline** – Show or hide the username of the video creator. Hide it when you want to present the video without Vimeo branding elements. That is how you can embed a Vimeo video in the Elementor editor. To display the video in a lightbox overlay instead of embedding it inline, see [How to Create a Video Popup in Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/create-a-video-popup-in-elementor/). ![Vimeo video embedded in Elementor using The Plus Addons for Elementor Video widget](https://theplusaddons.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/video-player-vimeo-demo.webp) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What do I need before embedding a Vimeo video in Elementor?** A: A Vimeo video ID and the Video widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor are the two essentials. The widget is part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, so it has to be installed and activated before it will work inside the Elementor editor. That matters because the embed is driven by the widget, not by custom code, which keeps the setup inside Elementor. **Q: Why is my Vimeo video not showing in Elementor?** A: The most common blocker is missing the Vimeo video ID or not having The Plus Addons for Elementor installed and activated. The tutorial uses the Video widget, then asks you to pick Vimeo from the Source dropdown and paste the ID into the Vimeo Id field. If either piece is wrong, the embed cannot resolve the video. A quick check of those two fields usually saves time. **Q: Can I use a Vimeo video for a portfolio or course page in Elementor?** A: That is exactly the kind of use this setup fits. The page calls out portfolio and creative agency sites, online course and membership sites, and product landing pages or sales pages as best uses. Vimeo works well here because it hosts high-quality video without ads or forced recommendations, which keeps attention on the content instead of distractions. **Q: How do I hide Vimeo branding on an embedded video?** A: The Video Options tab gives you control over Vimeo’s intro elements. Intro Title, Intro Portrait, and Intro Byline can all be shown or hidden, so you can strip away the title, creator image, and username when you want a cleaner player. That is useful for client work or brand videos where you do not want creator identity competing with your own page design. **Q: When should I turn on autoplay and mute for a Vimeo embed?** A: Autoplay makes sense when the video is the main focus of the page and you want it to start as soon as the page loads. Mute matters because most browsers block autoplaying video with sound, so it has to be enabled when autoplay is on. Loop is another good fit for background or ambient sections where continuous playback feels intentional instead of distracting. **Q: Is there a way to show a Vimeo video in a popup instead of inline?** A: A popup overlay is handled separately from inline embedding. The tutorial points to [How to Create a Video Popup in Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/create-a-video-popup-in-elementor/) if you want that lightbox-style presentation instead of placing the video directly on the page. That distinction matters because inline embeds are better for content sections, while popups work better when you want visitors to click first.
