I have a web app with embedded Vimeo videos. These videos are in stereo, with sound panned to the left (60-40%) and some to the right (40-60%). Several users have speakers where one side is broken and they only hear the right or the left, therefore the video often sounds like there's a drop in the sound volume.
I would like some Javascript from the Vimeo SDK that lets these users hear the video in mono, while the others can hear it in stereo. Does that exist?

No, I don't think that exists. Can't find anything in the player SDK documentation that hints at anything like this being possible.

That rather sounds like an issue that should be dealt with at the individual OS level, if possible - converting all sound output from stereo to mono is something that can usually be configured in the sound settings.
The Vimeo help replied this to my request for help:
Thank you for contacting our API Support team. I have checked the video parameters documentation for our SDK library, and unfortunately, there is no feature to switch between mono and stereo.
I will log this as product feedback with our development team for potential implementation in the future.
