Vimeo video not working with HTML5 tag
I want to add a slider to Vimeo videos. I checked this slider, but it uses the HTML5 video tag. When I use the same tag with a Vimeo video URL then it's not working. Here is my code:
<video src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/68866759"></video>
Here is the full code:

Answer
Go to your Video Settings and Video File, at the bottom there is a section called Use Your Own Player, you'll find there direct urls to your video. Example:
<video src="http://player.vimeo.com/external/85569724.sd.mp4?s=43df5df0d733011263687d20a47557e4"></video>
Note: This requires a PRO Vimeo account.
