New Features

  • Users online
    Anytime you see a blue square around a user's avatar, you know they are online. Just think of the implications!
  • Daily Email Update
    You can now receive a daily email full of what's happening in your Vimeo world. Sign up is located in your notifications settings.
  • Converting time during transcoding
    Ted and Casey added a nifty little feature that will display the time remaining to convert your video during uploads.
  • Removing Video Thumbnails
    Everytime you upload a video, you get 12 thumbnails to choose from. Now, a month from the day you upload your video, we will automatically remove any unused thumbnails. But you will always be able to upload your own.
  • Improved Searching
    We've been waiting for this. The toolbar search is now much more accurate.
  • Login and Join Vimeo Lightbox
    Clicking on most login and join links will now trigger a lightbox overlay where you can quickly login or join Vimeo and stay on your current page.
  • Better referrer statistics
    Now we record every page that videos get embeded on, check it out in the stats section to the right of any video page.
  • Share on MySpace
    Everyone says they hate it, but everyone has a MySpace profile! We've added MySpace to the Sharing options.
  • Badge additions
    You can now add channels and albums to any Badge that you create. Yipeee!
  • New Hubnut Behavoir
    From now on, the Hubnut will not auto-rotate when it is loaded on a page. This will only affect all newly created Hubnuts, not those that are currently used on other sites.
  • Search Channels
    Now you can FINALLY search for Channels. Use the 'Search' box in the top navigation bar, make sure its set on 'Channels', and search away!
  • Posting to Flickr
    It's back! You can once again post your videos to Flickr. You can also post albums. Do this by clicking on Share and navigating to the "Post this..." tab.
  • Expanded Tag Browsing
    Clicking a tag from a video will bring you to an improved tag browsing experience. Now you can browse videos with that tag in your videos, all videos, your contacts' videos and more. Vimeo members who use that tag most are also noted.
  • New Avatar Feature
    Clicking any "avatar" aka user portrait will bring up a menu of actions you can take regarding that user. Use this menu to add contacts, subscribe to videos, and send messages to users you see on Vimeo
  • Sorting Channels
    Now you can sort channels in the Channels Directory. Just click on the headers like 'videos' or 'subscribers' and it will sort accordingly. We're one step closer to searching for Channels! Yay!
  • Spam Filters
    We've recently rolled out some great new spam filters that we think will help keep spammers off of Vimeo. Of course its impossible to stop ALL spammers, so if you ever see any send an email to Help@vimeo.com and we'll take care of it.
  • Add Multiple Email Addresses
    Now you can add multiple email addresses to your account and then sign in with any of them using the same password. Just set one as your main address, verify it after we send you an email, and you're all set.
  • Can we fool you?

    Yes, it is April Fools day.

    No, the site isn't redirecting you to BoobTube or anything.

    But... we do have a little surprise for those of you with keen eyes and Sherlock-like wits.

    We, the Staff, collectively challenge you all to a treasure hunt of sorts. Somewhere in the dungeons of Vimeo, perhaps where you least expect it, perhaps closer than you could ever imagine, lies a quirky little April Fools tweak to the site.

    We challenge you.... no, we double-dog dare you to find it.

    The first to do so, will win 500mb extra storage a week. Those who do not, will be banned from Vimeo FOREVER!

      The hunt is in vane, the April fools joke is that nothing has changed, nobody will win, nobody will loose.

      I hope it's a really cool video.

      That would make sense.

    • Allex Radu 6 months ago
      This may be, because i didn't subscribe to anything, but i think this isn't new.
    • Andrew Pile staff 6 months ago
      Haha yeah this isn't so much a new trick as a longstanding bug!
    • Jackie Birov 6 months ago
      Yeah, I've laughed at that ever since I joined.

      Although it was disheartening the first time - from 69 messages to 0? That hurts.

      Che hubnut? .. is that it..or the Forever ban
    •  
    • Allex Radu 6 months ago
      The "Forever Ban" part everybody know is a joke, vimeo won't compromise ad revenue over a April 1 day.
      The part of 500MB could be real, but in this day you really don't know.

    • Blake Whitman staff 6 months ago
      ah, but where is it linked from?

      (on the hill films... shhh!)
    • on the hill films 6 months ago
      This reminds me of that time I won a trip to Albany in fourth grade. My friends and I used our parents' money to buy candy cigarettes, which were real big back in 1989, and on the way home on the bus, I got gum stuck in my hair. One of the parents had to cut it out, but she didn't have scissors, so she used keys. I bled profusely that day. But I will always remember it. Much like the day I received an additional 500mb on Vimeo. Hopefully it will last forever, unlike that fateful trip to Albany. I wish there were digital cameras back then. Then I would be able to post videos of those hallowed halls.
    • BobbyG 6 months ago
      who was the guy who won 7 gold medals in one year? mark spitz? ..err?

    • Allex Radu 6 months ago
      The video at the bottom of the page /vip was the entire joke, or the page itself? Because i never seen that page before.

      Number 1. The sentence "Those who do not, will be banned from Vimeo FOREVER!"

      or

      Number 2. There is not a april fool, you are just trying to get us to search and search after nothing!

    • Karyn Bosnak 6 months ago
      Well, listen, I'm not sure if someone already won because this thread was way too long for me to read. But here's what I noticed:

      The picture of all the people at the bottom of the Vimeo welcome page, the people hanging out at the drive-in... I thought the kid on the left was robbing those two people with a gun. But then I realized... ah ha! He's holding a video camera.

      I totally thought that was it. I thought he was holding them up.

      But he was just videotaping them because, you know, this is Vimeo.
    • Blake Whitman staff 6 months ago
      nope, but good eye!
    • Ralph Lindsen 6 months ago
      haha that's what i thought too.
    •  
    • Blake Whitman staff 6 months ago
      Ok, jokes up, we've been found!

      For those of you who haven't put it together, the tweak is the Elliot Spitzer avatar on the About page. Which links you to this vimeo.com/vip

      Nice job people, nice job.

      I played this vimeo.com/vip video 5 times yesterday then continued to search the entire site and eventually gave up after being unable to confirm the "treasure", was there a time limit or something?

      I'm using firefox with adblock plus but even tried turning it off while searching.

    • kurtis chen 6 months ago
      i think i found it. when you type in a wrong video url theres a message that is:
      "When I die I don't need no fancy pine box
      Throw my body in the Buick tune the radio to classic rock"
      Is that it???
