Vimeo Gallery: Hidden Videos can be displayed now

Guys, we are thrilled to announce that hidden videos can be displayed in our Vimeo Gallery app now :rocket:


How to display hidden videos?


To show hidden videos, you need to reconnect your widget. After reconnecting, the videos may not show up right away in the widget due to a 6-hour caching period.

To clear the cache, please follow these steps:

  • open DevTools and navigate to Application tab

  • expand IndexedDB, delete Vimeo GalleryCache, and refresh the page


To display hidden videos in your widget, you need to set the Embed type in the Vimeo settings.

Videos with Nobody Embed type will not be visible in the widget. So, to make them show up, choose Specific domains Embed type instead and add static.elfsight.com to the domain field:

Note: Video Embed Type settings are available in your Vimeo account.


Guys, have you tested the new feature yet? Feel free to share your experiences in the comments - we are all ears :wink:

I don’t get this to work. Please confirm.

  1. Create a video in vimeo
  2. In the share popup, set link privacy to Hide from Vimeo
  3. In embed popup set to “specific domains” and add “storage.elfsight.com”
  4. In the share popup press Copy link
  5. Go to elfsight click Add sources in a widge and paste that link. Press done.

I get a black block on the widget. Clearing the browser does not help. Perhaps you could give exact instructions or video to show how this is done?

Hi @user137 :wave:

Ahh, I am so sorry about the wrong info!

The correct domain is static.elfsight.com, I’ve adjusted the info in the post.

Could you please try to add this domain and let me know if it worked?

Hi Max
Now I get this working with one video, but if I add a second video with the same setting then the widget shows none. If I duplicate the video then it shows me the same video twice.

Got you!

Please let me discuss your case with the devs, I’ll let you know once I receive a response from them :slightly_smiling_face:

Could you please reconnect your widget and add links without a share attribute?

Like this:

Does not help. Widget shows blank black box as soon as I add another video.

Do I understand right that you reconnected the widget, then added the 1st video and it was displayed, and after adding the 2nd video the blank black box appeared instead? Or the 1st video wasn’t displayed either?

No videos appear. Just a single black box.

Got it, thanks!

We’ve cleared the authentication settings, which should help to fix this issue. Could you please try to reconnect your widget and add the video links once again?
