Open your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Brave…) and go to the web page.

Right click anywhere on the page, then click on ‘Inspect’..

A new “Inspector” window opens.

The Inspect feature allows you to access all the resources of the web page (elements, HTML code, CSS, network…).

In this column “Page”, search and open the 9-digit file (here 277280439).

These 9 numbers correspond to the id of your Vimeo private video.

Open (double click) all subfolders : player.vimeo.com > video .

A simple 9-digit file is the last document to appear (here 277280439).

Right click on the 9-digit file and ” Open the file in a new tab” .

Then go to step 4.

After opening the video in a new Chrome tab, go to this new tab.

The url is of type : https://player.vimeo.com/video/123456789 (your 9-digit code at the end)

The Vimeo private video is alone on the page.

Right click and then “View page source code”.

You can now see the source code of the page and the Vimeo private video.

You move on to the penultimate step 5.

 

5. Find the .mp4 url of the video and open it in a new tab

Now you have access to the source code of the page and the private video.

Search (CTRL + F on your computer keyboard) in the source code the following text: mp4

This allows you to easily find all the urls of the video in MP4 format.

MP4 is the video format used by Vimeo.
