Vimeo shortcode

Embed a Vimeo video in your content using the vimeo shortcode.

To override Hugo’s embedded vimeo shortcode, copy the source code to a file with the same name in the layouts/_shortcodes directory.

Example

To display a Vimeo video with this URL:

https://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/55073825

Include this in your Markdown:

{{< vimeo 55073825 >}}

Hugo renders this to:

id: (string) The video id. Optional if the id is the first and only positional argument.
allowFullScreen: New in v0.146.0; (bool) Whether the iframe element can activate full screen mode. Default is true.
class: (string) The class attribute of the wrapping div element. Adding one or more CSS classes disables inline styling.
loading: New in v0.146.0; (string) The loading attribute of the iframe element, either eager or lazy. Default is eager.
title: (string) The title attribute of the iframe element.

Here’s an example using some of the available arguments:

{{< vimeo id=55073825 allowFullScreen=false loading=lazy >}}

Adjust the relevant privacy settings in your site configuration.

privacy:
  vimeo:
    disable: false
    enableDNT: false
    simple: false

[privacy]
  [privacy.vimeo]
    disable = false
    enableDNT = false
    simple = false

{
   "privacy": {
      "vimeo": {
         "disable": false,
         "enableDNT": false,
         "simple": false
      }
   }
}

disable: (bool) Whether to disable the shortcode. Default is false.
enableDNT: (bool) Whether to block the Vimeo player from tracking session data and analytics. Default is false.
simple: (bool) Whether to enable simple mode. If true, the video thumbnail is fetched from Vimeo and overlaid with a play button. Clicking the thumbnail opens the video in a new Vimeo tab. Default is false.

The source code for the simple version of the shortcode is available in this file.
