I'm trying to embed a Vimeo video and force it to use HTML5 by default.
Here's a thread about doing the same thing I'm tying to do but with YouTube.
Here's another thread talking about getting the Vimeo HTML5 cookie
Here's a discussion of the issue on Vimeo's site. Basically, I would be doing it in response to a user's preference on my site so their concerns don't really apply.
Does anyone know a workaround or way to force HTML5 Vimeo embeds even when Flash is available? (I know the cookie should work in Safari but I have many Chrome users.)
Thanks.

If you'd like your embedded video to autoplay or loop, go to the video's page on vimeo.com and click the "Share" button in the upper right corner of the video player. In the window that opens, click the "Show options" link, and check the corresponding boxes next to "Loop this video," "Autoplay this video," or both.
Vimeo playback is supported in browsers that can decode H. 264 videos in an HTML5 player.
In the share window that appears, click on "+Show options" in the top right corner of the lightbox, then select "Responsive.” The code in the embed section should then automatically adjust to include a new div wrapper and script tag. These elements allow the iframe to become responsive.

Currently there is no way to force HTML5 with the embed script. The "universal player" automatically chooses the format based on the device.
The old embed provides a way to force Flash, but that's the only other option.
Let's hope for the option in the future.
