Embed for Vimeo
Embed for Vimeo plugin is the easiest way to embed Vimeo videos in WordPress. This plugin extends the default Vimeo embed with advanced player parameters.
Unlike other Vimeo plugins, It doesn’t replace your on-page video embed code with JavaScript/HTML code. Loading a video with JavaScript doesn’t provide any video SEO benefit as a search engine crawler will only see some code instead of the actual video object.
Embed for Vimeo is easy to use because there is no setting to configure. It uses the oEmbed API so your videos will be responsive and provide all the benefits that core WordPress Vimeo embed has to offer. Vimeo videos on your website will continue to work even if you choose to deactivate the plugin.

How to Use Embed for Vimeo
Create a new post/page and add a Vimeo block. Copy and paste the Vimeo video URL into it. For example:
https://vimeo.com/1084536
airplay
To disable AirPlay in the player you can add “airplay=false” to your Vimeo URL.
https://vimeo.com/1084536?airplay=false
autopause
This argument is enabled by default which pauses the current video when another Vimeo video on the same page starts to play. To permit simultaneous playback of all the videos on the page you can add “autopause=false” to your Vimeo URL.
https://vimeo.com/1084536?autopause=false
byline
If you do not want to display the author name in the player, add “byline=false” to your Vimeo URL.
https://vimeo.com/1084536?byline=false
title
If you do not want to display the video title in the player, add “title=false” to your Vimeo URL.
https://vimeo.com/1084536?title=false
cc
This argument is enabled by default which enables closed captions in the player. To disable closed captions you can add “cc=false” to your Vimeo URL.
https://vimeo.com/1084536?cc=false
This option has no effect if your video does not have captions or subtitles.
How to Add Multiple Arguments
