I don't use Vimeo to its full potential. I just needed it for one reason, video hosting with custom branding and controls. I'm sure there's a lot more great about Vimeo, but I just haven't found a need for them.

Pros

I chose Vimeo after I realized that YouTube did not allow me to have custom colors and turn off certain controls. I wanted the video to look good on my well-designed website and to fit in seamlessly. Vimeo allowed me to customize like this whereas YouTube did not. I do have a graphic design background so I felt this customization to be pretty easy. So was uploading the video and generating the url or embed code.

Cons

I wish there was even more customizations on the branding and controls on Vimeo. Also, I don't know anyone who spends time going down Vimeo rabbit holes like they do on YouTube. I'm sure they're missing out on viewership like this.

Simply Vimeo Review

In some cases, we've observed Audio/video is not synchronized in other platforms (specially YT). Not sure how Vimeo solves this, but we have never seen this trouble in videos, even with special settings in nonstandard frame rate or something like that...

Pros

I like the availability of adding photos from Flickr in my videos, the privacy options for your footage (protected by a password or hidden from crawlers), the option to share with other people your masterpiece without complicated Python-Downloaders methods, the option to add tags. Finally, Vimeo has a strong community with a gazillion of videos, tutorials, etc. If you want to see kitties vids, perhaps this is not your platform. If you want to share any professional video work, then you're in the right platform!

Cons

Upload a video is not made at the Speed of light (compared with DailyMotion, PeerTube or YT), but is acceptable.The only report you can get is the number of views. Glad if Vimeo offer a visual line in order to understand what is more seeing moments in a video...

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Choosing Vimeo

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE! - THERE'S NO WAY OUT!!

Reviewed on 1/04/2024

Cons

Once you have subscribed for a basic membership, it is literally impossible to unsubscribe. There is no method to cancel online, despite directions on their website which tell you where to go. There is no customer support phone number. There is no live chat option. The phone number [sensitive content hidden] popped up for the bank when cutting off their charge on my credit card. Dialing that, I was still unable to connect with anyone as I do not have a "pin" number, so was unable to advance past the automated introduction. Don't waste your time with Vimeo. Use another option.

I use it several times a week to distribute rough cuts/masters of films for internal/external viewing.

Pros

Privacy options (mainly password protection of videos), no copyright checks (great for submitting rough cuts for review), no ads, some sort of folder management (which could be better). Android app.

Cons

The website is rather slow in the past 1-2 years. Folder management could definitely be better. No feasible way to export/create a complete list of my videos except request directly from customer support.

Pros

Honestly, love the Vimeo Record option the most. It has made training individuals 100x easier and faster. And you can choose to show your face in the video or not which is nice.

Cons

I wish there was an a-la-carte option for purchasing features. We do not need ALL the features in the next level up so won't be paying for it but a few would be nice to have. And same for the tier above that one.

Cons

Powerful video storage at high quality

Reviewed on 21/02/2024

Pros

Our videos look great on our embedded websites, ability to control where you can embed and player functionality like full screen, hide playbar for a webinar etc.

Videos load quick, which is crucial nowadays. And the analytics helps us understand the audience, where do hey drop of, how is this video performing etc.

Cons

The interface was a bit different than what we were used too: YouTube. But still, we managed very quickly to understand how to use it.

Overall experience with Vimeo is good. It is meant for content creators who are serious about their work. And it a good place for educational institutions to archive their videos. One can program an API to use it for online classroom services.

Pros

Uploading of the files and organisation of the data.

Cons

Getting the links of a video is complicated. One needs to go to the advance settings, the distribution and then finally click on video links. Then you get playable links or downloadable links. If you don’t have the API it is a lot of work if you have a large video library.

There was a time I searched for so many places in which I can create quality good and clear videos to transfer to a educational platform that offers resources for educators. The platform relies heavily on using on Vimeo because they do not question you too much on the video itself and provides you with the privacy you need.

Pros

I was easily able to upload my videos to another platform and the video quality was good.

Cons

They make it difficult to drop your membership on the web and there is no telephone support.

Overall, using Vimeo works great for us and allows us with a place to house and share video with our team and partners.

Pros

Vimeo is easy to use and convenient for businesses that need somewhere to house video assets without looking to generate traffic.

Cons

The only downside I can think of with Vimeo is that sharing links externally can be tricky. Whenever a video is finished uploading, the share button will not work when sending out in a newsletter, Teams, etc. the video id needs to be added to the end of a separate url. Not a big deal, just not as convenient as the rest of the platform.

Pros

I love that I can upload a file, and instantly get the link even before the file upload is complete. That saves me a lot of time. I also really like that I can go back in and change the intro image on the video.

Cons

It's not as easy as drag and drop to move folders around and organize them. I honestly haven't given it a lot of effort, but it's not super obvious.

Not Just for Music Videos

Reviewed on 8/05/2024

Pros

One of the main reasons I would post videos on Vimeo rather than YouTube is the level of video quality that Vimeo offers for content creators. I can keep the 4k visual and audio resolution without the quality dip. Vimeo is my go-to for uploading more of my artsy projects and building my professional profile. I can relay my vision of my clients' videos without compromise.

Cons

Vimeo is a known medium for uploading content, but it lacks the notoriety like YouTube. I have run into older clients who did not know what Vimeo was, and they didn't particularly care for the level of quality that I did. Some people just want to have their contents seen and do not care for the finer details.

Overall, Vimeo is a great video platform worth considering for your video needs. Although there are some drawbacks, the overall performance and functionality offered by Vimeo make it stand out among competitors. The quality of video streaming, privacy options, and the community are the standout features that make Vimeo worth trying out.

The videos look crisp and clear, and the platform offers lots of customization options.The platform's video editor is a great feature, allowing you to perform basic editing tasks right on the platform without the need for extra software.Vimeo's community is fantastic, and you can find lots of content creators and professionals in a wide range of fields. The community is supportive and helpful.The privacy settings and options are excellent, allowing you to restrict who can view your videos and control access in many ways. They also offer password protection, domain-level privacy, and geographical restrictions.

Cons

There is limited time for free accounts, and the prices for the paid subscription plans may not be suitable for everyone.Vimeo's analytics may not be as detailed as some other platforms out there.The process of uploading and publishing video content may be a bit slow compared to other similar platforms.
