    At moment the PRO not permit to play the private video set in vimeo or youtube but only the public. I’ll modify my opinion if it’ll permit also that.

    Hi @rmagrini,

    thank you for your honest review & feedback!

    The method we use to identify the Video ID based on the given video URL in the shortcode doesn’t currently take Vimeo’s private mode into account.

    This is, because private Vimeo videos have a different URL structure compared to regular Vimeo links.

    I’ve added this to the roadmap and we’re going to explore how we can make our URL parser respect private Vimeo videos.

    This will then be available in both, the free & PRO version 🙂

    Best,
    David

    Hi @rmagrini,

    On private videos, Vimeo adds a second string to the URL of the video like this:

    https://vimeo.com/xxxx/yyyy

    I just figured out that removing the second string on private videos will work out of the box.

    So instead of doing this:

    [wp-video-popup video="https://vimeo.com/xxxx/yyyy"],

    simply remove the last string from the URL like this:

    [wp-video-popup video="https://vimeo.com/xxxx"].

    This should do the trick! 🙂

    Best,
    David
