Vimeo Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

As a novice for video on demand, I've found the user interface to be fairly clear and easy to determine steps without having to dig into the training. The ability to share videos and establish privacy settings has been extremely helpful as we build out our library of lectures.

Some features are not as intuitive as I would like, but I may just be biased based on other system experiences. For instance, getting to the subtitles/captions area can be tedious and doesn't seem as easy to find as other items on the site.

Embedding videos into our LMS is super easy using Vimeo and it allows us easier control when videos need to be updated or captions added than it would be within the LMS.

I love the automatic transfer of my livestream yoga classes from Zoom into my Vimeo account. It makes it much easier for me to get content to my subscribers almost immediately after class.

Maybe it's my internet speed, which I've upgraded, but sometimes it takes forever to open and play videos in my account. I also would like to see cut and paste options in the video trimming features.

The integration of Zoom with Vimeo has saved me a lot of time. The privacy settings are beneficial as I'm able to set which videos are public, private, unlisted and hidden.

The biggest advantage to using Vimeo is that it allows you to lock videos to limited specific domains and/or to offer them for sale. I have recommended Vimeo to people for each of these properties individually and used both options myself — we've also done awesome things like embed a Vimeo live stream into our community platform and then have the recording auto-embedded after the event. It all works pretty smoothly once you figure out the initial tech setup.

That said, it does require a bit of technically know how to get things set up and running correctly - as the "techy" on my team it did take a bit of training to get the rest of the team up and running with how it all works.

Vimeo makes it easy to create videos that clients and customers need to pay to access - whether using Vimeo's built-in eCommerce options or embedding the videos behind a paywall in another platform.

Vimeo takes all the pain points from its major competitor and gives the customers what they want! The features for embedding on our website are the reason we signed up, but there are a lot of other benefits too!

We haven't had too much to complain about in terms of Vimeo and the features that they offer. The only thing that I can think of is that the monthly fee would be better if it was based on view time instead of storage space, etc.

When we embedded our videos from another platform, we lost control over display issues such as hiding the title on the thumbnail, hiding the channel icon, and related items. The videos looked horrible on our site. We decided to try Vimeo and our embedded video thumbnails look 1,000 times better!

On Vimeo, we can upload high-quality videos and its analytics are the best, and very easy to use, they don't display ads in between videos so user enjoys only videos

I didn't get a chance to dislike in fact Vimeo is used for Business and on other streaming platforms you get a mixed crowd, so I think this is the best, we get a proper business feel on Vimeo.

Vimeo has a free version and also gives you specific bandwidth to use, that's very good. The best part is you can edit previously uploaded videos and their views, and comments won't be removed

We use Vimeo's API which has proven to be robust enough for our business needs. Our favorite feature is the detailed analytics we can get on each viewer who views the video.

We put a lot of videos into Vimeo and we've found it hard to organize them in a way that makes them easy to find when accessing them via the website. However, since we primarily use the API, this isn't a big ussue.

We wanted to have a seamless way to display user-generated videos onto our platform as well as obtain analytics on who viewed those videos. It was also important that the API was extremely stable.

The platform is easy to use. Plus, it continues to grow. There is ample storage, easy video sharing and review features, plus you can now do simple cuts in your videos.

The team is constantly listening to customers and making improvements. I have no dislikes.

Vimeo makes it easy for us to share both draft videos as well as finished products. Plus it serves as a library where we can store and share lots of our videos.

- Easy to upload the video and perform edits - Excellent quality after upload also and provides the embed code to keep the video on any website - It decreases website load time

- Sometimes, playback is much slower to load than YouTube

- During website development, the client demands to display video even for a short explanation, we prefer Vimeo.

I like how Vimeo is not radical about copyright in the same way that youtube is.

Can be more difficult to navigate than youtube. Videos are much less searchable

Better for privacy. You can create private videos. There is less community and less monetization

The possibility of uploading a group of videos from a mac extension

That sometimes it fails to upload videos and you lose some time.

Store videos, organize them in lists and send to my contacts

The embedding features are extremely customizable. We can make the video player our own color, add our own logo and even control what happens after a video is complete.

It's tough to find something to complain about. If I have to choose something I would say being able to display a GIF as a preview would be super helpful when displaying our content online for reference.

We use the software to send videos to customers for review and the note feature is HUGE for us. It allows our customers to not only make requests, but to attach them to specific time stamps throughout the video.

Vimeo is very simple to use with all of the options you could need. We mostly use this platform to RTMP stream into other platforms and to host videos. It's great for both uses!

I really don't have any complaints about Vimeo! It's well designed, simple, and does what it's intended to do. There have been a few situations where we are trying to host some videos and it's difficult to figure out the setting to make private, public, etc., but overall it works great and does everything you could want it to.

We mostly use Vimeo to push RTMP streams to our virtual event platforms. It's great that it can record the video as we get many client requests for the streams post-event.

I like that it's easy to use and learn, requiring very little to understand usage

At the moment, I do not have anything I don't like about it

Uploading videos; it's an all in one solution, I don't need to save my videos in different places

I liked how I was able to easily upload, stream, and post videos on my non-profits website.

There wasn't much I disliked about it except it does take some time to get familiar with the platform.

We were able to easily upload our content for the public to view and become a part of our marketing campaign.

The dashboard is easy to navigate, my videos can be stored in folders, uploading is easy and quick, and I really appreciate the different price tiers to fit my budget.

I wish the weekly upload limit was just a bit higher for my pay tier. I understand I can pay more for a larger weekly limit, but I often find that I don't use my limit at all some weeks and then exceed it others. Maybe an annual or monthly limit would be a nice option.

I can embed videos directly on my website while protecting them from being downloaded through my site or others. I really like the multitude of options for which sites and how my videos can be viewed.

Great way to upload vidoes to share as well as downloading videos. The whole software is very inuitive.

Nothing really. I havent had any problems uploading and downloading videos so far

Our marketing agency uses it to share our projects with everyone.

With Vimeo there is a place that we can store all of our services in sequential order. We can save services to separate "pages" depending on how we label them. With the paid subscription, we are able to upload up to 20GB of videos each week which is more than adequate for our needs.

I wish the process for uploading the videos were just a little quicker. I do understand that these videos are sometimes 5GB which can take some time, but it just seems like it could be a little shorter. You can upload more than one video at a time; however it uploads it in a preset order rather than how you might want them uploaded.

We are able to upload all of our videos to access at anytime on this site which frees up space on our storage drives here at the church. We are able to embed any video into our website and give them their own descriptions and titles.

We use Vimeo to mainly embed our videos on our website, the easy drag and drop and ease of use is what appeals to us the most

It is sometimes fiddly to get make the videos have the correct look and feel in terms of branding and colours.

We can quickly upload videos from our virtual or physical events that we have created and then embed onto our website in a matter of minutes sometimes.

I love the interface that displays my videos. I feel that it is much more pleasing to the eye than YouTube.

I dislike that the embedded email video is a terribly large file size making even the shortest clip too large to use this fantastic feature.

I have the best alternative to YouTube and direct most all of my traffic to view my vimeo first. The subscription service feature also opened the door to being able to monetize in a way that outshines YouTube.

I love using Vimeo, but my favorite thing about it is that you can upload as many videos as you would like. I switched to them from youtube and did not like that youtube makes you wait 24 hours each time you upload many videos; Vimeo does not make you do that.

There is nothing I have found that I don't like about Vimeo. It has been great so far.

As I stated before, you can upload as many videos as you want to Vimeo without having to wait a certain amount of time.

Ease to embed into websites, useful configuration tools for both live streaming and player embedding; RTMP features open new opportunities for simulcasts.

Not being able to "edit" online since new features allow only to trim. Also, trimmed videos replace the originals, instead of being saved as a new one. Also, Studio is limited regarding gfx abilities.

Simultaneous streaming is sort of solved since a premium account allows at least two events streamed at once. Individual RTMP URL per event is also convenient for multi-channel live streaming.

Vimeo is an affordable and efficient way to store and host my company's video projects. Its tools let me embed videos on my websites while customizing the interaction options.

There's actually nothing I dislike about Vimeo. It's a better hosting and embedding option than YouTube and is significantly more affordable than other options on the market.

It's a safe place to store video projects, but it's also a great way to host videos that I embed on my websites. The customization tools let me change color options to match branding, add calls-to-action on videos, and a varity of privacy settings. It also syncs with my caption provider, making that process pretty much as easy as it can be.

I love that I now only need one subscription for my video marketing needs. Not only do I have a place to upload and host my videos, but the marketing tools and analytic capabilities are great. I absolutely LOVE the review feature. Previously I would have had to subscribe to Frame.io or a similar video review tool, but I am so thankful that Vimeo includes this as part of their Pro Plan. The other feature that I use frequently is Showcases. This makes it incredibly easy to create collections of client work for an elegant way to present final deliverables.

I don't love that Showcases can't be private. It would be great if we could create a private showcase for sensitive or unreleased client work.

Vimeo helps me to host, market, review, and deliver my video content to my clients.

Ease of use, navigation and configuration. Secure access.

Nothing. It is easy to use. I wish it integrated with more applications like Silver Chair to serve up video content within our digital library.

With Vimeo, we now have a common platform for serving up and storing video.

Easy to use. Rich video information and many options for the video to be published or to have it private. Secure, you can protect your media with a password. You can enable or disable the download button. Many more features, like Vimeo live and Vimeo channels. Sharing and embedding options. Processing a video is like a charm, and it encodes the video with multiple resolutions for the best quality and speed.

I want to see more controls in the player.

I am uploading large videos for online streaming, like film screenings.

It is easy to upload videos to your account, organize them, and set privacy settings. With the Pro or above accounts, you can set it so videos can only be embedded on certain domains.

It may not be cost effective for you if you don't have many videos and don't need branding or privacy settings for your particular situation.

We use Vimeo for simple online hosting of videos for courses and promotional videos for websites. We organize into folders and set permissions accordingly. Team access is configured so it is easy to keep videos in the right place and anyone can upload them after a recording that needs to be placed on the website. Every player is on-brand so we still look great and profession image is preserved.

I like that Vimeo allows password protected video content.

The monthly cost can be slightly pricey.

Having a platform to host my videos.

We do video editing for clients and use the review function the most. It allows us to share videos with our clients and they can make comments on the timeline - helping our editors clearly understand what they need to change. Really awesome. Once edits are made, the editor replaces the video and the client can toggle between the previous version with their time-stamped comments and the current version to check edits. Works like a charm

It is not exactly cheap but it is worth it.

The main problem we are solving is client communication. Although we really started using Vimeo to host our videos because Youtube started showing the other video ads at the end of their videos. We embed many videos on websites and really do not appreciate having some competitor's video pop up when a visitor finished watching ours. But after we started using it we found the review function and it changed our workflow completely.

Vimeo is very convenient to use for all video hosting services. Vimeo is used as a video hosting tool for embedding videos on various websites. The key advantage of Vimeo is that it can display videos without any advertisments or related/suggested videos. Vimeo is also very easy to implement, the embedded code for the videos can be obtained from the same page as the video itself and its easy to edit/modify to make it according to the various requirements that we need.

Vimeo is at times glitchy in the implementation. Also the UI is not as attractive and user friendly as other platforms like YouTube. For most queries you can get support online. There is also a limit on the video hosting service as Vimeo is a freemium service which requies you to subscribe after a certain stage. Overall compared to YouTube, Vimeo has its advantages and disadvantages in its use and implementation

We use Vimeo as a platform for hosting videos and embedding them on various websites. It is also helpful in adding videos without additional clutter like advertisments and related videos which are present in YouTube. Also its pretty convinient to use Vimeo to add and play embedded videos in a loop.

We loved that this was a place we could host password protected videos to be shared with some of our partners. It took us a while to find a solution to fit our needs and this was perfect.

There is nothing we disliked about the platform. It suited all our needs.

We had a lot of training videos that needed a place to be hosted, but also not open for just anyone to access. These videos were sent to partners easily through the vimeo link and were password protected which was huge for us. This made it easy to host/send all our training in one place.
