Hi Amelia,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Upon checking, it seems like Vimeo doesn’t have option to hide the play/pause button for regular users see https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/224969968-Embedding-videos-overview#how-do-i-set-videos-to-autoplay-or-loop-when-i-embed-them however with CSS tricks you can hide the controls, try adding the following code in the Theme Options > CSS:

.x-video-embed {
    position: relative;
}
.x-video-embed:before {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    z-index: 9999;
}

This code will add a transparent wrapper over the video that will stop the user interaction to the video and because of it the controls won’t appear on hover.

I checked your page and the autoplay works fine on my end however for autoplay and looping options please see https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004485728-Autoplaying-and-looping-embedded-videos

Hope this helps!
