[vimeo] - v3 can't play public Vimeo "/event/:id" livestreams

Author: leojuriolli7Created Aug 15, 2025Updated Jan 30, 2026

When using the same Vimeo Livestream URL on react-player v2 and v3, v3 displays the error "Sorry. This video does not exist", while v2 plays correctly.

The livestream has the correct configurations for being played publicly, but won't work on v3.

Is there an array of allowed Vimeo URLs that needs to be updated to include the /event/:id format?


This URL format works: https://vimeo.com/1110231524/cd46e56f85
