Best way to integrate Vimeo with Laravel?

Does anyone know how Jeffrey Way is handling Vimeo videos? We are currently hosting our videos on Vimeo, and using an HTML5 player for playback. The problem is the links we are getting from vimeo seem to expire.

Surely there is a better way to integrate?

@bgweb I don’t think there is any integration. They’re just videos, restricted to playback on a specific domain (laracasts.com).

EDIT: Literally just an iframe with the video URL. The URL isn’t hashed nor contains a signature with an expiration.

But try and open that iframe URL in a new tab and you’ll just get an error saying the video can’t be played because of privacy settings: https://player.vimeo.com/video/523936153?color=00b1b3&autoplay=1&app_id=122963
