- Settings → Social Feeds → Vimeo → Connect account, paste Client ID (the app’s Client identifier), Access Token and Client Secret, Save Changes.
- In the gallery block, select the account and a Source. See the next part.

Source in the block
Available in Visual Portfolio Pro 3.9.0 and later.
Each gallery picks what it shows from the account. In the block, under Account, select a Source. Until you pick one, the select reads Choose a source and the gallery shows no videos.
| Source | Field | Value |
|---|---|---|
| User videos | User ID | 19246687 from https://vimeo.com/user19246687, or the user name from https://vimeo.com/sportscastaustralia |
| Showcase | Showcase | A dropdown of the account’s showcases, or the number of a showcase: 6040889 from https://vimeo.com/manage/showcases/6040889/info |
| Group | Group | motion from https://vimeo.com/groups/motion |
| Channel | Channel | japan from https://vimeo.com/channels/japan |
Pasting the full URL into the field works for users, showcases, groups and channels.
The Showcase dropdown lists the first 100 showcases of the account that owns the access token. To use another showcase, select Enter manually… and enter its number or URL in ID or URL.
If the account was saved with a source before, the first option reads As in connection: followed by that source, and galleries that keep it show that source.
The first time the editor previews a source, it fetches that source and shows its first page of videos. Read more in Social.
What is imported
Title, description, thumbnails, date, duration, likes and comments count, the uploader as the author. Videos play through the Vimeo player in the lightbox.
Notes
Any API failure shows one message: “Vimeo reports: Please check your Data!”. Check the token scopes, that the videos are public (or the token has the private scope), and that the value matches the Source chosen in the block.
