Need Vimeo specialist

We can not get our videos to show in a video window with start, volume, etc. on a music forum. All we get is what you see in the image that is blue but it's not blue when copy pasted and not able to be opened. Thanks for detailed help. We had this same issue over a year ago and at some point we did get a link to click on but we desire embedded so viewers do not have the click a link.
We are using the free version. If that is the issue please suggest a free alternative. Some ---- closed our You Tube channel for one video out of 266 being flagged by one user. We never got the e-mail from YT or their owners so we could delete the video. Actually the video came from our personal collection. We refuse to pay ransom to Google. Last time we called them and they wanted $75 to fix it so none of our videos no matter the content would never be removed. That makes no sense are they going to let us post porn videos? I doubt it. We think the $75 was a tech support fee since the people we talked to by phone were not Caucasian. We said thank you and did not pay the $75 and our account was re-instated last August. Then because of a flag in Feb. 2018 and no flags after that they suspend claiming repeated violations. Nope only one violation from Feb. 13, 2018 that we were not even aware of.
So back to Vimeo and how to post an actual video and not a link.

When I copy paste what you see in blue in my screen shot to a forum and save the post, the image you posted is not seen.

Only the code is seen. And it is not highlighted so it can be clicked on by viewers.

The forum allows Youtube videos, and the video window shows on the forum, no need to click a link to get to the Youtube video.
And other files are allowed.
I'm not sure I am copying the right thing on Vimeo. To be pasted elsewhere so all they do is click the start arrow.

After I copy paste the code I get this when pasted.

When I delete everything after the 274543168 then there is a link to the video. I was hoping to have it be embed like the ones we can post here. I've done this with Vimeo a couple years ago but lost the procedure and maybe I am pasting all of the code when part of it needs to be omitted?

When I paste the part between  <iframe>  and  </iframe> the viewers on the forum see this:
https://player.vimeo.com/video/275111488
They click on it and it takes them to the video. Is that the best I can get as far as embedded?
