  Is there any way to remove the byline and all other info on vimeo embeds and just have the play bar?

  Hi there!

  Those items are set on Vimeo’s end, so there’s no way we can remove them using the embedding shortcode. Here’s more information on embedding Vimeo videos for your reference:

  I hope that clarifies things!

  Thank you for the reply.

  I did turn off those settings on vimeo’s side. I believe the problem is that wordpress automatically turns the embed link into a shortcode and that bypasses any settings from vimeo.

  We only parse the actual video URL link in the shortcode. The option to turn off titles and bylines are in the embed options on Vimeo, which adds extra embedding code that will be ignored since it is not a part of the URL of the video. After embedding on WordPress.com, the only modifications that can be made are to the height and width of the video, which is described in the link I gave you above.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  So in essence, I cannot remove the bylines and titles…?

  Is there a way to not use shortcodes?

  At this time, yes.

  I would encourage you to add the suggestion to add this functionality to our Ideas forum where you can discuss it with the WordPress.com community: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas
