The official Vimeo Player API JavaScript library for embedding and programmatically controlling Vimeo video players via iframes. It exposes methods, events, and getters/setters for playback, volume, cue points, text tracks, and more.
Use cases
- control an embedded vimeo player from javascript
- embed a vimeo video by id or url with custom options
- listen for video play and pause events
- set volume or mute a vimeo embed programmatically
- add cue points to a vimeo video
- get video duration and current time from an embedded player
When to choose
- you embed Vimeo videos and need programmatic playback control
- you want event-driven interaction with a Vimeo iframe player
- you need cue points, text tracks, or quality control on Vimeo embeds
When to avoid
- you need to play self-hosted or non-Vimeo video files
- you need server-side video management rather than player control
- you want a full custom video player UI rather than the Vimeo embed
