Vimeo: how to set privacy for video to use video in a mobile app?

Question

The are the privacy related settings actually available

privacy.download    Whether people can download the video   true | false
privacy.embed       Where the video can be embedded         private | public | whitelist*
privacy.view        Who can view the video on Vimeo         anybody | contacts | disable | nobody | password | unlisted | users*

I wany my video be unlisted on vimeo, ok. It's privacy.view to set as unlisted.

But If I want that our official app can browse and play these videos, how must I set privacy.embed and / or privacy.download?

I'd like to use whitelist, because our mobile app will have a companion webapp and so I've the domain(s) to enable. But using whitelist, can I still play them in a mobile app?

Answer 1

Domain-level privacy cannot be used for videos that are intended for viewing within a native mobile app. Because there is no domain name or HTTP referer associated with a native application, the Player cannot determine if the video is allowed to be played from the location where it is embedded.
