Embedding allows you to take a video and post it on a web page outside of Vimeo. You can embed your own videos as well as those owned by others as long as the video owner has embedding enabled. Embedded videos are hosted on Vimeo but will appear directly on your website so that viewers don’t have to leave the page to watch it. Learn more at How do I embed my video?
