Vimeo videos no longer play #978

Website Problem

Please confirm whether you've tried the following debugging steps:

Description of the Problem

Users are unable to play videos hosted on Vimeo. Confirmed from multiple users using multiple devices and browsers, and on a separate channel.

Videos can be added to a channel playlist but display a blank black box instead of playing.

Other commonly-used video sites still function (YT, DM, Streamable, etc.).

System Information

Hi,

Yes, vimeo cannot be used on cytu.be anymore because vimeo blocked it due to a single channel being reported. I was unsuccessful in asking them to reconsider the sitewide ban, and another paid user also did not have any luck asking them about it either. I meant to add a more explicit error about it no longer being supported sometime last year or the year before, but I guess I forgot.

I apologize for the inconvenience, I don't have the energy to continue fighting these tech companies who will just arbitrarily ban you with no recourse.
