    Hello All,

    I’m having an issue with when I add a video block to a page…it shows fine on my back end, however when I preview the page, It just has a blank spot where the video should be.

    I’ve double checked privacy and everything should be ok there. It happens with vimeo and youTube Video Blocks.

    I have figured out that the JetPack plugin seems to be causing the issue. When I deactivate the JetPack plugin the problem goes away. However it seems that I need to have the JetPack plugin for my Woocommerce to work with paypal. Sorry I’m fairly new to all this. So I’m not really sure how to fix this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve seen some similar topics where the video shows only the link, but mine is just a blank spot. Nothing quite like this in here. And also nothing where the problem is fixed by disabling JetPack.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    So…I noticed your link in your screen shot was different than my Vimeo link when I copy the link from my video.

    Since I only had your embed code to go off of, I went to https://player.vimeo.com/video/150464361 (which is just the player), and got the proper URL from the title link there.

    Vimeo’s open embed system, which WordPress uses, works off of the unique video ID, in this case 150464361, so a URL with that ID is required.

    I figured out if your video link is a private link through Vimeo it won’t work also.

    Private videos definitely cannot be embedded, this is intentional from Vimeo’s end.
