How to play EXTERNAL videos in a single window?

Hi. I'm using Designer pro 17,

I have several videos hosted in VIMEO, and I am interested in having them played from my site, but if I do it by creating a placeholder linked to each of the videos, the page takes a long time to load (there are 10 videos). (VIMEO includes a player with each link)

Is there a way to reproduce all of them in ONE window. Maybe creating a menu and from that menu, and fro there they "jump" to a player window.?

Thank you very much

Hi

This suggests the videos are being downloaded on page load.

That is one way - you would need to create new page for each video and use the embedded code given by Vimeo, then adjust the menu.

An alternative is to create the individual video pages as above, create a set of still images from the videos and use these as the links to the video page(s) created in a new page or existing page.
