To get your “Video URL” from Vimeo, you need to find the Vimeo video distribution link (not the link to the video page). The video distribution link starts with “player.vimeo.com” and it’s a long link (see example below).
https://player.vimeo.com/external/651939148.m3u8?s=cd22fd5f719e58fea891ad6ac90774dd34141e20
Here are the steps to take:
