Video URL form element
Use the Video URL form element to add a Video URL field with video preview field to your Component form. For more information, see Create an editable component.
When you specify a Vimeo or YouTube URL, the control settings for them will be ignored in favour of their native controls. This is because they still depend on embedded iframes and can result in double controls being displayed.
Exceptions to this are if you're using a business/pro vimeo account - native controls can be disabled and HTML5-compliant custom embed URLs can be used so that element control settings can be used or a YouTube URL with controls disabled - this setting will be respected, if present in the URL (controls=0).
