I’m trying to embed a Vimeo video and force it to use HTML5 by default.

Here’s a thread about doing the same thing I’m tying to do but with YouTube.

Here’s another thread talking about getting the Vimeo HTML5 cookie

Here’s a discussion of the issue on Vimeo’s site. Basically, I would be doing it in response to a user’s preference on my site so their concerns don’t really apply.

Does anyone know a workaround or way to force HTML5 Vimeo embeds even when Flash is available? (I know the cookie should work in Safari but I have many Chrome users.)

Thanks.

    Currently there is no way to force HTML5 with the embed script. The “universal player” automatically chooses the format based on the device.

    The old embed provides a way to force Flash, but that’s the only other option.

    Let’s hope for the option in the future.
