Is a Vimeo Watermark on calTPA Videos a Dealbreaker? 🎥🤔

Let me share a little secret from my own teaching journey: when I was preparing my calTPA video clips, I found myself tangled in the web of watermarks. Specifically, those from Vimeo. I wondered, would a watermark sabotage my submission, or would the reviewers even notice? After digging through official guidelines and swapping stories with fellow educators, I realized the answer isn’t as black-and-white as we’d hope. Some say minor watermarks are fine as long as they don’t obscure student interactions or learning evidence. Others warn that any distraction could raise eyebrows. So, what’s your experience? Have you submitted videos with watermarks? Did it affect your results? Drop your wisdom below, and let’s clear up this mystery together! Maybe we’ll even spark a debate or two. 😉 Let’s crowdsource the best solutions—should we risk it, or is it time to find a watermark-free workaround? #calTPA #TeacherTips #EducationResources
