I am following the instructions to drag and drop the URL of a Vimeo Video into resources. The Vimeo video doesn’t appear to make it into the project. Anybody else having the same problems? ---

What are you trying to do here? Do you want Vimeo to host the video or do you want to host a video that’s currently stored on Vimeo? If you’re trying to put a remote video into your local resources, you right-click in the appropriate place in your **Resources** panel and you paste in the Vimeo URL, I believe. ---

Thanks for writing back. The video is already hosted in my Vimeo account. I have tried several ways of getting it into the project. I think I properly demonstrated what was in the video instructions for the component. Maybe I am doing something wrong or misunderstood something.

You’re correct. Dragging the Vimeo links isn’t working at the moment. ---

In resources, right click and select add remote resource, paste in your Vimeo video page url and click ok. Works fine: ![CleanShot 2026-01-11 at 1 .01.50@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/7/b7b1e7e2caf66e9a5392fb5a7f5b79d8514d4d54.png) Actually the drag and drop method is working fine for me here also on 1.6.3 try this video: [https://vimeo.com/1091012065?fl=wc](https://vimeo.com/1091012065?fl=wc) What Vimeo video url are you trying? If I try copying the url you show in your video [https://vimeo.com/746675742/](https://vimeo.com/746675742/) it yields “video not found” in the browser, which suggests to me it may be marked as private? ---

Thank you for confirming this works. Once you confirmed that it worked, I went back and checked the video on Vimeo. It was set to only play from that link. [CleanShot 2026-01-10 at 19.41.07 · CleanShot Cloud](https://share.cleanshot.com/m06XfKhH) I didn’t think that would ruin it. Once I changed the video to public, it worked great. Thank you! FYI - I always appreciated your RW stacks! ---

Yep, I somehow missed this. But note that Vimeo has other options besides marking a video “private.” To work with Elements it appears that you must explicitly choose the option of “public,” not _any_ of the other ones.
