Video Link Tips

Video is often the core medium of a course on Skool, and with that, we wanted to provide some guidance and proper link formats for the video hosts we support.

Youtube

One of the oldest standards around, Youtube link format looks like:

Vimeo

Vimeo is also pretty straight forward, but more of the complexity lies in the account and sharing settings on the Vimeo side to make sure all members can see it regardless of region, browser, etc (more on setting up your Vimeo account here):

Loom

For Loom videos, we have a few tips to help mitigate playback issues especially if you're using Safari.

The default Loom link formats are:

Default: https://www.loom.com/share/679eefb452f640c3af83e25ce36a695a

Default with removed header and branding: https://www.loom.com/embed/679eefb452f640c3af83e25ce36a695a?hide_owner=true&hide_share=true&hide_title=true&hideEmbedTopBar=true&autoplay=0

If you or your members are having playback issues, we recommend editing the links per the below instructions:

Potential Fix 1: https://www.loom.com/embed/679eefb452f640c3af83e25ce36a695a (changing "share" to "embed")
Potential Fix 2: https://www.loom.com/embed/679eefb452f640c3af83e25ce36a695a?autoplay=0 (adding "?autoplay=0" to the end of the link)

Example link: https://www.loom.com/embed/679eefb452f640c3af83e25ce36a695a

Wistia

Wistia is a very straight forward video host, link format looks like (directly from the Wistia support team):
