Problem
Links to new Vimeo videos no longer work via the Object Connector due to Vimeo requiring a hash value at the end of the URL.
Vimeo URLs have this format: https://vimeo.com/videoID/hashID
Currently, the Object Connector macro in Confluence is not putting the full Vimeo.com URL (entered into the URL field) into the src parameter when generating the iframe. The hash value is not being kept.
For example, I entered https://vimeo.com/607733378/10c39589bd into the URL field of the Object Connector, which generated a src parameter without the hash value (after the last /).
Generated iframe:
<iframe allowfullscreen="" allowtransparency="true" class="fullscreen-video-iframe conf-macro output-block" data-hasbody="false" data-macro-id="7d7b61e6-20a5-492c-8079-2f83f98a2f6d" data-macro-name="widget" frameborder="0" height="380" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/607733378" style="border:none; margin:1em 0em;" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640">
</iframe>
Suggested Solution
Customer needs to be able to add the HASH code when embedding videos from vimeo.
Why This Is Important
This is impacting directly customers that have material on vimeo and need to embed them in confluence.
Workaround
No workaround available. This is a upload from VIMEO.
[CONFCLOUD-72855] Object Connector macro needs to work with Vimeo hash
This is also impacting how we use Confluence. Please can this be escalated?
How do we get this escalated at Atlassian? This is impacting how we use Confluence.
It would be nice if the Object Connector supported both of these Vimeo link formats:
https://vimeo.com/videoID/hashID https://player.vimeo.com/video/videoID?h=hashID
For example:
Vimeo support further indicated this info regarding the hash:
"We’ve recently added this to all embed codes as an extra security measure for video owners. For now, some embeds may still work without the privacy hash, but as time goes on, ultimately all private embeds will require the ?h parameter to remain private."
A workaround is to use the iframe macro; however, currently, the iframe macro does not add the allowfullscreen attribute.
This is a major issue for us as well. Adding this comment to see if it helps escalating.
