  I have embedded a video from Vimeo on my blog, but it doesn’t allow it to be played in HD on my blog…you have to watch it from the Vimeo website to see it in HD. Is there a way that it can play in HD on my blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there!

  You should have the option to switch the video back/forth to/from HD in the embedded video.

  Could you send me a link to the video on your site? Just provide me with the URL where the video is embedded and I can take a look at it for you?

  Also, please give me the link to the actual video on Vimeo.

  Thanks much!

  Hey Ashley!

  I believe this is occurring because you have a free Vimeo account. Can you confirm?

  You should contact Vimeo directly about this, but it appears from their support documentation that only Plus and PRO Vimeo members can embed their videos in HD. You might want to check in, and see if it’s possible for your videos to be embedded, and be playable, as HD on your WordPress.com site.

  Let me know! Thanks much.
