Solution for Autoplaying Linked Vimeo Videos Without Bandwidth Issues

·

Not sure if this is the right spot but I need a solution to get my linked vimeo videos to autoplay. I know it is possible with a 'background video' element but the locally hosted videos are killing our bandwidth. Another solution would be adding a link to the 'background video' instead of uploading the files. Any ideas?

Tom B. I don’t have it handy and I am mobile but search youtube for timothy ricks background videos. If you have vimeo pro you can host the videos there and use embed code to load the video. There is a very specific URL that you need with specific parameters on the embed.

Possibly other paid solutions as well but you’d be hard to find a free solution
