Home / Plugin: Elementor Website Builder - More than Just a Page Builder / Media carousel Vimeo doesn’t work
Hi! I have a problem with media carousel. When I use Vimeo for a slide the lightbox doesn’t work and only shows the video thumbnail. If I use youtube instead works fine.
Can you check if it’s a bug?
I’m using v 2.6.6
Thanks!
I just tested it and was able to add a vimeo link to a media carousel slide, an image for the thumbnail, and when clicking on it, it opens successfully in the lightbox.
Just to rule out an issue with the particular video, try this one: https://vimeo.com/83724671 That’s the one I tried and it worked.
If you inspect the page, do you have any console errors? Here’s how to check: https://docs.elementor.com/article/517-how-to-open-a-browsers-console
Thanks cavalierlife for answer.
I don’t have any errors in console. I checked it with the video you put and have same results.
Config of media carousel
Result (just show up thumbnail of Vimeo video)
Same page with Youtube video instead

Problem continues after last update 🙁
Hi @mikekustom
Are you still having trouble with this?
Is there a way to make the media carousel accept several YouTube playlists, instead of single videos?
The problem #1: Whenever I add a YouTube playlist link, Elementor’s media carousel opens the thumbnail still image only upon clicking, not the YouTube playlist.
If I use a single video link, there is no problem then, but it would be great to have the ability to include YouTube playlists instead of single videos.
The problem #2: When the YouTube video plays, it doesn’t show the control/scroll bar (that usually comes up at the bottom), so users can’t rewind or fast forward, turn captions on/off, change language, resolution, etc.
Thanks Elementor!
