Change who can watch a video and where it can be embedded.

Vimeo API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/vimeo.md

`PUT https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/vimeo/videos/{video_id}/privacy`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Sets the viewing privacy and optionally the embed rule. Privacy is public, unlisted, password, embed_only or private; unlisted, password and embed_only need a paid plan. Embed is anywhere, nowhere or domains. A private video cannot play when embedded elsewhere. A public video appears in search engines and on your profile. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `video_id` | string | yes | Video ID from search_videos, the number in vimeo.com/{id}. |
| `privacy` | enum | yes | public, unlisted, password, embed_only or private. |
| `password` | string | no | Required when privacy is password. |
| `embed` | enum | no | anywhere, nowhere or domains. |
| `embed_domains` | string[] | no | Allowed domains when embed is domains. Up to 50. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
