In prior LearningBuilder versions this would collect the VideoId only.

As of 11.0.34, this supports Vimeo’s new security model that requires both the ID and a hash value to access an unlisted video:

As a result, this textbox now supports a few different patterns:

URL ending in /{numeric}

{numeric}:{alpha}

The numeric value is treated as the Video Id, and the alpha value is treated as the hash.

URL ending in /{numeric}/{alpha}

The numeric value is treated as the Video Id, and the alpha value is treated as the hash.

URL ending in /{numeric}/{alpha}/{alpha2}

The numeric value is treated as the Video Id, and the alpha value is treated as the hash.

{alpha2} is ignored; it usually matches “/privacy” in a copy/pasted link from Vimeo.
