Vimeo on a Kotisivukamu site
Vimeo is a video service used especially by photographers, videographers and others for whom the look of the video matters. Vimeo’s player is plain and shows no ads.
How it works on Kotisivukamu
The video is embedded in the page with Vimeo’s own player, for example in the portfolio or at the top of the front page. The player adapts to the screen width and works on a phone. The video stays on Vimeo, and the views show in Vimeo’s statistics.
Vimeo’s player may set cookies, so it falls under the cookie banner. Before consent, the video’s place shows a box with a button that opens the cookie settings, and the player is created only once the visitor has accepted cookies. Some player settings, such as removing Vimeo’s logo or restricting embedding to your own domain, depend on your Vimeo plan.
Step by step
- Open the video on Vimeo and copy its address.
- Check in the video’s privacy settings that embedding is allowed. If you restrict embedding to certain domains, add your own domain and the preview address to the list.
- Give Kamu the video address and the spot where it goes.
- Check in the preview that the box shows before consent and the video plays on a phone once cookies are accepted.

Vimeo: frequently asked questions
Which is better, YouTube or Vimeo?
If you want your videos to be found in YouTube’s search too, YouTube is the natural choice. If the video is mainly part of the site and the look matters, Vimeo’s player is calmer. Both are embedded the same way.
What does Vimeo cost?
Vimeo has a free tier and paid plans, and their features change from time to time. Check the current prices and embed settings on Vimeo’s own pages. Adding the video to the site is an ordinary change.
Can the video be shown only to certain visitors?
On Vimeo a video can be protected with a password, so it plays only for those who know it. A wedding photographer, for example, can show the finished video to the client this way. The site has no login, so the restriction is made on Vimeo’s side.
