I am on an enterprise plan and am trying to embed Vimeo video but the 'video embed' field is not picking the parameter that I am adding at the end of the video URL -

Parameters like - &background=1, allow="autoplay", etc. The parameters are not reflecting in the frontend. When inspecting it is showing

Hello @richa, could you please share with us the entire URL you're embedding so we can try it out on our end? Please note that the [Embed field](https://prismic.io/docs/core-concepts/embed) only accepts valid oEmbed URLs

Here is the code -

https://player.vimeo.com/video/592571832?loop=1&background=1&app_id=122963&h=25e62ba070

Parameter added is &background=1. When I preview the page with this video URL the parameter does not work

Sharing the video url screenshot as well -

Hi Pau,

Here is the URL -

Hey @richa, thanks for sending over the details.

This is happening because you're using the html value of the Embed response. I can see that this field doesn't apply the b`ackground=1` parameter that you need. You need to use the `embed_url` and paste in it an iframe in your app.

```auto
<iframe id="inlineFrameExample"
    title="Inline Frame Example"
    width={document.embed_field.width}
    height={document.embed_field.width}
    src={document.embed_field.embed_url}>
</iframe>

```

Hi @alex.p ,

Since this video is in the Rich Text field, you'll need to edit the output of embeds using the Rich Text Serializer:

> **[Rich Text](https://prismic.io/docs/rich-text#rich-text-serializer)**
>
> On this page, you’ll learn how to work with rich text from Prismic.
