Host course videos on your own account with the Vimeo LMS integration
Upload videos through LearnWorlds and keep them in your Vimeo account too. The Vimeo LMS integration also lets you add existing Vimeo videos to courses by ID.
TL;DR
The Vimeo integration saves uploading twice. Videos you upload to the LearnWorlds Video Library also land in your Vimeo account, and existing Vimeo videos join courses by ID.
Skip the double upload. Video Library uploads also go to your Vimeo account
Reuse videos already on Vimeo by entering their ID instead of uploading again
Avoid playback errors by applying a LearnWorlds embed preset before you upload
Best for: Course creators and training teams who already host their video library on Vimeo.

Who uses the Vimeo integration and how
Course creators with an existing Vimeo library
