Vimeo states: "Hide this video from Vimeo" will make the video unable to be accessed on the Vimeo website (unless you are logged in as yourself), but it still can be embedded on other websites. Your video can be added to albums and portfolios, but no other types of collections."
In the Vimeo settings, with 'Hide from Vimeo' selected, there is also a checkbox titled 'What can people do with your videos?' I have 'Download them' selected.
So, as far as I am aware, the Vimeo videos should be able to be embedded on my client's website, 'hidden on Vimeo' yet still 'downloadable' from my client's website.
This is not the case. We can not download from the client's website unless the Vimeo settings are set to 'Public,'
Vimeo actually inhibits the download functionality when privacy settings "Who can watch your videos?" are set to anything other than "Anyone." So you have to have public videos on Vimeo which defeats the object of paying for PRO.
The scenario: My client has sensitive videos which they use Vimeo to host (privately). These videos are streamed to private client pages on the Wordpress website using a bespoke plugin. Only the people with access to the private client area on the website should have access to these videos and they must be private everywhere else on the web. BUT, they must be downloadable from the client area.
Please help! We have spent two months developing a bespoke WordPress plugin and now this error is occurring.
We are using Vimeo PRO.
Thank you!
