How to embed your Vimeo feed on your website
Present Vimeo work alongside your portfolio, studio description, or project notes. Figments creates linked thumbnail cards from a public user feed or channel, with consistent styling across your page.
Connect your Vimeo feed
- Open the feed dashboard, choose Vimeo in the Platform selector, and give your feed a name.
- Enter a Vimeo username or user ID. For a public channel, enter channels/channel-name. A link to a single video is not a user or channel feed. The field is labeled “Vimeo username”.
- Choose Create and check the live preview. Confirm that the cards belong to the source you intended before adding them to your website.
- Adjust the layout, colors, captions, and post count, then copy the embed code shown for your feed.
Example source: channels/yourchannel
Pick a user feed or a channel
Use your user feed for a collection of your own public uploads, or channels/channel-name for a curated public channel. The integration uses Vimeo's public feed. Private videos and collections that are not exposed through that feed may not be available.
Use the feed as a route into your work
Cards with visible titles help visitors distinguish projects. A compact gallery can work below a showreel, while a Pro list layout leaves more room for titles. Each card opens the video on Vimeo; the feed is not an inline Vimeo player and does not autoplay your videos.
Preview titles and thumbnails before publishing
Check that your chosen source returns the intended videos and that their thumbnails work at phone width. Include project descriptions directly on your portfolio page when that context matters. Cached feed cards can lag behind a title, thumbnail, or visibility change on Vimeo.
Add the snippet to your website
Paste the generated snippet into a place that accepts HTML and JavaScript. Keep the feed identifier from the dashboard intact: it connects the widget to your saved configuration. Publish the page and open it as a visitor to check that the feed appears.
For WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or a plain HTML page, follow the website installation guide. Some page editors remove scripts or only execute them on the published site.
Choose a plan and a layout
The free plan includes cards and grid layouts, up to six posts, and a Figments badge. Pro is $3 per month and adds carousel, mosaic, and list layouts, up to twelve posts, custom CSS, and badge removal. Start with the free preview to decide how much space the feed needs.

Check the source format above, confirm that the profile or collection is public, and look for an error in the dashboard preview. On your website, confirm that the editor retained the snippet and that you published the latest page. Content depends on the source platform's availability and may be served from cache.
Frequently asked questions — Vimeo
Do I need to connect my Vimeo account?
No. Enter the public vimeo username as shown (channels/yourchannel). Figments reads public posts — no OAuth is needed. Use your own profile or one you have permission to republish.
Why is my Vimeo feed empty?
Check the handle format (Vimeo username: channels/yourchannel), confirm the profile is public and has recent posts, and look for an error in the dashboard preview. Private or login-gated content cannot appear.
Will it work on WordPress and Shopify?
Yes. Paste the same snippet in WordPress Custom HTML, Shopify Custom Liquid, Webflow Embed, Squarespace Code Block, Wix Embed HTML, or plain HTML. No plugin needed.
