    I am trying unsuccessfully to embed a video in a form. I have tried both via Vimeo and You Tube widgets and continue to get the 404 File Not Found error. This is when using the widgets from Jot Form and the most accessible video settings on Vimeo. Please help. Thanks.

    Hello cheesechick,

    I'm sorry for the trouble caused to you.

    It seems you have created one more thread for the same issue. My colleague was able to replicate the issue and reported it to our back end team:  http://www.jotform.com/answers/503895-Vimeo-Widget-Error-404-Not-Found 

    For now, I would suggest you to grab your vimeo video's embed code and add it in the text field of your form. Please check the screenshot below for the steps:

    Thank you!

    Thanks so much for your speedy reply. I was kind of proud of myself that I figured out the work around with the code - but being able to use the Widget will be much easier. 

    You have a great product here and exceptional customer responsiveness.
