My Vimeo embeds work with BigScreen on my desktop, but not on iOS.

It looks like it fails during BigScreen.videoEnabled($('iframe)[0]). Is there a way to bypass this?

FYI: Vimeo support states that their API does not integrate with native JS fullscreen.

BigScreen needs to be able to have access to the <video> on iOS, which is not possible to do with an <iframe> from a different origin.
