How to change Vimeo stream author name (video by) to video description

[jerzybg]

Hi there,

I’m using the Vimeo Stream in a Essential Grid and the title of every video shows the title and the author so every video has: By [name] which is ugly and pointless as it uses the Vimeo user name for it so every video has the same author as you can see here: http://www.jerzygudjonsson.com

It would be great if I could get rid of that useless information and better yet if I could replace it with the video’s description, that way I could put in a short description on the Vimeo page, e.g. Music Video, Commercial, etc.

Many thanks,

Jerzy

Hello @jerzybg,

Thanks for asking.

If you would like to hide the author name, please add following CSS under X > Theme Options > CSS:

.esg-center.eg-vimeostream-element-33.esg-fade.esg-click-to-play-video {
    display: none !important;
}

In case you want to display description, please refer the instructions mentioned in following documentation:

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Thanks for the code, I’ll have to try it out when I come back from my trip. I looked through the documentation in the links you sent me but I didn’t find anything about how to display video description. Is it in the Skin Editor?

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! Please let us know then. If the skin does not display any description, you may need to edit the skin and add another element to display the description.

Best Regards.
