In order for EventPilot to upload your virtual session recordings or speaker portal videos to your own Vimeo account, you need to configure your Vimeo account settings and share some information with us.

Tip: If you are using the Vimeo integration for hosting the live session recordings and you wish to hide some of the recordings, simply let your project manager know the session IDs in advance.

Vimeo Settings: Playback Control via Embed Presets

In the image above you can see that we are using an "embed preset" called EP-Private (under Choose embed preset to apply to your videos). 

These presets determine the video playback and help you control access: 

You will notice that Share and Embed are turned OFF - unchecking these ensures that only your registered attendees have access to the content and cannot publicly share these videos outside of your conference.

1. Log into your Vimeo account at https://vimeo.com/
2. Hover over your profile icon on the top right and select Settings
3. In the Settings menu on the left, click on Videos
4. Select Embed presets

Preset 1 for Simulive 

The idea behind Simulive is that the pre-recorded videos play back at a given time, matching your onsite presentation at a hybrid event. In order to accomplish this simulive experience, the play bar must be hidden. 

1. In the Embed presets page, click Add new preset
2. Enter the name EP-Simulive
3. Match the settings as shown in the screenshot below and click Save at the bottom of the screen: (NOTE - Do NOT check the "Also apply to all existing videos" checkbox - that will change settings on ALL your videos)
   

Preset 2 for Zoom Recording playback and OnDemand Speaker Video Uploads

For on demand videos and watching a Zoom recording of a live webinar, the play bar is displayed with the speed control option. This is important for attendees. If you remove that option, they will ask for it.

1. In the Embed presets page, click Add new preset
2. Enter the name EP-Private
3. Match the settings as shown in the screenshot below and click Save at the bottom of the screen: (NOTE - Do NOT check the "Also apply to all existing videos" checkbox - that will change settings on ALL your videos)
   

Naming Convention in the Vimeo Account

Our system will automatically generate a single folder with your conference ID (e.g. ASR21), into which all of your videos will go.

Video recording files themselves will be named as the conference ID, the session ID in parentheses, and the title of the session. For example, ASR21 - (115) Religion and Violence.

2. Hover over your profile icon on the top right and select Settings
3. In the Settings menu on the left, select Videos and Upload defaults
