GMetri Setup

Every time in the Vimeo event Link, there are two string to take note of:

https://vimeo.com/event/3448527/ea06876db1 (Second string doesn't show up every time)

From those two strings, we can generate the following:

• Video Link: https://vimeo.com/event/3448527/ea06876db1

• Chat Link: https://vimeo.com/event/3448527/chat/ea06876db1

• Video link used within embed: https://vimeo.com/event/3448527/embed/ea06876db1
