Follow these simple steps to add a recorded Vimeo Video to your Virtual Session.

**Please note, you will need a Vimeo account and the appropriate membership. Any level Vimeo account can upload a video onto their platform, however, free accounts are limited to 500mb per week. We recommend Event Organizers have a "Premium" or "Enterprise" Vimeo membership if they plan on utilizing this functionality.

Please go to https://vimeo.com/ to learn more about packages and pricing.

Want to add CHAT to your recorded video session?

Not a problem with Expo Pass!

- Start by creating a Live Event in Vimeo. You must do this since the Chat Embed Code is only generated from a Live Event.

  • Vimeo Chat must be enabled in the Live Event settings for this to work. Please refer to the Vimeo help article here.

  • When selecting the Privacy settings for your Live Event in Vimeo, make sure to select Hide from Vimeo for this to work. Please refer to the Vimeo help article on Privacy Settings here.

For additional help from Vimeo, please refer to the Vimeo Help Center.

Once you've created your Vimeo Live Event with the correct settings:

1. Click on Embed

2. Open the Chat embed code

3. Copy the 9 digit Event Chat ID that immediately follows the "...chat/" -- see yellow highlighted text below.

4. In your Session in Expo Pass, turn on 'Enable Chat?', by toggling right and now appear green

5. Place your 9 digit Vimeo Event Chat ID here in Expo Pass

That's it - you've now embed a Vimeo Video into your event session πŸ™Œ
