Do I have to do anything special to make my videos mobile compatible?
Nope! Most mobile devices are capable of playing HD video and many of them (e.g., iOS devices) will automatically choose the best version of your video (e.g., 360p, 720p, or 1080p) depending on the strength of your Internet connection.
The iframe embed code will automatically serve the correct version of your videos depending on what device someone is using. Anyone going to your video on vimeo.com with a mobile device should be redirected to our mobile site.
Unfortunately, some features of the Vimeo player (such as loop, autoplay, and choosing your video resolution manually) are not supported on mobile devices.

Why won't my embedded video play back on mobile devices?
Make sure you're using the iframe embed code, and that you don't modify any of the attributes in the embed code unless you know what you're doing! The old object-based Flash embed code is not compatible on mobile.

Why does the embedded video player look or act differently on mobile devices versus on a computer?
Most phones only have a few inches of screen real estate, while a computer monitor is many times larger. Our player will adjust elements like the playbar and like/share buttons to accommodate for smaller screens. Some outro options may not appear or display properly, depending on how you customize your embed settings.

Why can't I loop or autoplay my videos on mobile devices?
These functions are restricted on most mobile platforms and are out of our control. Sorry!
