This section contains settings available in the embed options for Vimeo videos used within the Video Time activity.
As an administrator, you can define default values, force settings, and mark settings as advanced. Default settings apply only to newly created activities.
You can find this section under Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Video Time > Video Time Vimeo Player.
Global defaults help enforce consistency and simplify the setup for course creators.
