Vimeo Player API Demos Index

According to the Vimeo API documentation (embed options), there are two embed options that can hide the default controller:

• background: Enable the player's background mode which hides the controls, autoplays and loops the video (available to Plus, PRO, or Business members).
• controls: This parameter will hide all elements in the player (play bar, sharing buttons, etc) for a chromeless experience. Warning: When using this parameter, the play bar and UI will be hidden. To start playback for your viewers, you'll need to either enable autoplay or use our player SDK to start and control playback. (available to Plus, PRO, or Business members)

There are two additional undocumented side effects of using the background option: Captions are not visible, and volume is muted. Also, the default behavior of loop can be overridded by initializing the player with loop: false; however autoplay:false does not override the autoplay behavior.

The controls option does not have these side effects.

See the bug report.
