@JohnnyWalkerDesign @phil-the-dev The background parameter will always set your video to loop by default.

We did previously allow loop to work for background videos, however this behavior has now been reverted in favor of the controls=0 embed parameter. Thecontrols parameter will hide all player controls while offering separate control over looping and muting.

Well it would be great if the SDK documentation noted this sudden change in behaviour, and indeed that a controls option existed at all: https://developer.vimeo.com/player/sdk/embed

Thank you! The controls parameter is in the progress of being added to our main SDK docs, but for now, this information can be referenced in our help center here- https://vimeo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001494447-Using-Player-Parameters.
