I'm really impressed and excited for the potential of this plugin. This plugin connects your WordPress site directly to your Vimeo account. Once connected, you can search all of your Vimeo videos right in your WordPress site, upload new videos, and even create videos (creating videos is an awesome feature!). For e-commerce sites, the plugin also integrates with WooCommerce and videos can be added to the product gallery or a video tab. Videos can even be created automatically from the product images. All types of video settings can be controlled such as displaying the video title, changing the accent color, or uploading a thumbnail image. All of this is done right inside of WordPress. It's a really powerful plugin for Vimeo users.
