Captivate not running Vimeo videos in IE11 and below

I have courses new and old built in a few different versions of Captivate (I’m currently using 2019) and when I play them in IE11 and earlier the vimeo videos won’t stream,  it looks like the video starts to load (a blurred version of the first frame appears) but then nothing else happens.

The browser gives me a “player.js” weakmap undefined error…

It happens after the scorm package is loaded into the LMS but also when I’m just previewing (html5 in browser) in IE.

I’ve used both url and embed code to add the vimeo vid and it makes no difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

Identical issue.

ERROR: ‘WeakMap’ is undefined

When trying to play embedded Vimeo video within Captivate.

Not astonishing, since IE is the worst browser for support of HTML5. Even MS is no longer developing it and pushes Edge as alternative. It is even weird that it is stil around, probably due to the many companies who seem to stick with outdated software.
