What is eWebinar's integration with Vimeo and how does it work?

Explains how to use your own Vimeo account to host the videos for your webinars, so that you may use videos that exceed eWebinar's file size limit of 2GB.

eWebinar has a video file size limit of 2GB for each webinar. When you integrate with Vimeo, you can choose to keep your videos hosted in your Vimeo account instead of in eWebinar, so that you can create eWebinars from videos larger than 2GB.

To set up the integration:

  1. Log in to Vimeo and go to the My Apps page.
  2. Create a new app or open an existing app to authenticate with.
  3. Click Generate Access Token in the left navigation.
  4. Select Authenticated (you) under Generate an access token.
  5. Under Scopes, check the following values: Public (required), Private, and Upload.
  6. Click Generate.
  7. Copy the token from Vimeo, go to eWebinar and log in.
  8. Go to the Integrations page and click Vimeo.
  9. Paste the Access token into the field provided under Account credentials (shown below).
  10. Click Connect.



To use the integration with Vimeo:

NOTE: If a video is missing from the list, go to Vimeo and make sure that the Link to the video is set to Public under Privacy.
