How to access showcase settings

Once you’ve created your showcase, you will see a panel on the left side of the showcase settings page with two sections: Settings and Appearance. 

Within Settings, you can edit the following:

How to customize showcase appearance

In the Appearance panel, your available options are based on the layout you choose. For example, the option to show or hide Vimeo’s app navigation only applies to the Featured content layout.

Within Appearance, the following options are available:

  •    Layout 
      •  Switch between the Featured content  and Player view
      •  Dark mode is available for the Featured content layout
  •    Dark mode
      • Enable dark mode for an alternative viewing experience
  •    Branding
      • Choose a primary color
      • Show or hide Vimeo’s logo (available for Player view)
      • Upload a custom logo
  •     Header (Featured content view only)
      • Show or hide Vimeo’s navigation
      • Featured content: Enable this toggle to feature a specific image or video in the showcase banner. Disabling this toggle will create a banner with only the showcase title and description, a behavior similar to the previous Default layout.
      • Detail source: When a video or live event is featured, you can choose whether the banner displays the Showcase title and description or the Video title and description.
        For example, if you feature a live event about 'Product Launch' in a showcase titled 'Company Events,' you can use this setting to have the banner display either 'Company Events' or 'Product Launch' as the main title.
  •      Display
      • Video cards: Choose between displaying Thumbnail images or a playable Player on your video cards. This option allows you to recreate the experience of the previous Default layout, where player thumbnails were the default.
  •      Viewer action
      • Share videos
      • Download videos
  •       Playback
      • Autoplay
      • Loop playlist
