New Features

  • Share on Twitter
    Now you can share your videos on Twitter! Just click the Share icon in a video to launch the Share module.
  • Channel Notifications
    Channel owners now have a new section in their channel settings to optionally receive emails for when someone posts a message to their shoutbox and for when someone subscribes to their channel. Adding moderators to your channel also now has an approval process, where both parties will receive emails when the request happens, and when the request is approved.
  • People Subscribed To Me
    There is now a new page within your My Contacts where you can see what users are subscribed to you and what they are subscribed to (likes, videos, and/or appearances).
  • Featured videos for your group
    Have any videos you want to show off in your group? You can easily add any 3 group videos to feature on your group homepage.
  • Featured videos on your profile page
    Have any videos you want to show off on your profile page? You can easily add any of your 3 public videos to feature on your profile page. Try it now.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • We have been witnessing extraordinary growth in the recent months. For example, in March we had over 70,000 uploads (9,200 of those were HD) and over two million unique visitors to the website.

    We'd like to extend a welcome to all of our new users. Vimeo thrives on community feedback, so remember to let your voice be heard, either in our Forums or in a direct email to your Community Directors, dalas and Blake.

    Vimeo is a special community among video sharing websites. To help us keep unoriginal material off the site, use the Flag link on the page where you watch a video. To help us keep the atmosphere pleasant, be respectful and polite with your comments, even when you might disagree with another member.

    If we work together, we can keep Vimeo awesome!

      I agree with Bobby, as far as the growth is concerned. The growth is awesome for you guys but doesn't "mainstream" kinda suck?! LOL. I havent been that long of a member, but I really love the website. I literally log on everyday. I'm more hooked on Vimeo than myspace! LOL. Thanks again for the great site, the great community, and awesome possibilities you give....

      Keep it up!

      "Sustainable" is our goal more than "mainstream."

      Just six days out of the loop, and so much good things to watch. You're managing everything so smoothly guys !! Always really pleasant (more than that) to come here. If I could buy you a drink all, like a glass of water, I would do it, ahah.

    • Tucker 2 years ago
      I've been having trouble uploading videos recently. Maybe due to the growth. They take a long time to start encoding, and once they are done, I get a message saying "your video was not found. the Vimeo staff has been notified."

      Any ideas on how to fix this? Also, I tried to delete one of the videos this happened to and it still appears in the list of my videos. When I click on it, it says that the video cannot be found.

      I love Vimeo, but is it experiencing growing pains?

      -Tucker
    • Andrew Pile staff 2 years ago
      The delay in encoding is something we're working hard to fix!

      As for the file not found errors, that's a bug we've been squashing for the past day or so.
    • I have no trouble uploading videos.
      But I had an experience with 'your video was not found'.

      I deleted the video and once I have deleted it, it still was in 'my videos'. After 24 hours or so, the video was also gone in 'my videos'.

      you guys are great. I found you after getting a HD camera and wanting a place to show them. Once I found you it was even better to see such a great community that actually helps, unlike the 12 year old comments on Youtube.
    • Video Dave 2 years ago
      I think Vimeo makes HD camcorders worth owning. I've been having blast uploading my HD camcorder experiments to share with others.

      I bumped into director Mike Figgis in London a few weeks ago. I immediately told him about Vimeo. He sounded very interested and wrote down the name.

      I'm proud to be an ambassador for you (and all of us)!

      Yes, great community here. Glad to know you're all doing your best to keep this site free from any illegal or commercial content. Although that could become an even bigger job the more the site grows. Lets just hope people remember to flag that stuff.
    • Blake Whitman staff 2 years ago
      keeping crap off of Vimeo is one of our top priorities. Even if we have to hire a "Director of Crap Removal" we will do so ;)

    • Jenna Fox 2 years ago
      Noooo! No vimeo pro! Maybe sell an extra gig of uploads for a buck or something as a once off thing to cover costs, but I really hope Vimeo doesn't go down the road Flickr did by withholding user's content and simple but useful features for subscription payments. I'm learning to hate flickr because of it, now that some of my best photo's have seemingly vanished in to the void unless I pay them a fee I can't really afford.
    • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
      We would certainly never force you to pay to keep your videos from vanishing.

      I stumbled upon Vimeo accidentally last October, when my Chicago Marathon charity running team director (American Cancer Society) posted her video here. I've been addicted ever since! So glad that Vimians have been respectful with their comments. Special shout-out to Blake! The advice and suggestions I've received here have really impacted my creativity. Thanks for everything! :)

      Brilliant site. Great customer service and help pages, and amazing quality. Don't ever dumb it down... I'd pay for extra space (if I needed it) it might be a nice idea...

      I don't want you to be mainstream... niche is good!

      Thanks guys (all the way from the Dorset countryside in the UK!)

      I think its awesome you're growing. Decent HD capabilities as well as an awesome tech-support team is a great combination. The only problem is all the new guys are killing the upload times, but im sure youre way ahead of me on that!

      Peace x

      I found the site when I wanted to check out the showreel of an animator a few months ago. Looking around a bit more I found Jake and Amir, some amazing travel videos, the HD channel... Now I'm seriously hooked, it's amazing to see all the fun and creativity that you can find here, very inspirational!

      Thank you guys, go vimeo!

      It seems like Vimeo is, in many ways, the best video site there is currently. I have noticed some errors in data processing, but even so, this beats the rivals. I have a feeling this service will grow even more rapidly in the future.

      I wonder if you also will buy more transcoding servers to overcome user growth.
      I've got a question, why you won't put adsense on the pages instead of that car company?, I really will be sad to see Vimeo shutdown the business because of lack of revenue.

      Best video community by far-hands down. YouTube can not compete. The atmosphere is definitely pleasant here and the technology is wow!

      Like with everything else nothing is perfect and I can see you guys know what you are doing.

      I had my account with you for a while and just decided this year to start my uploads. I 've learned alot so far from the very knowledgeable and creative people on this site.

      Keep up the good work.

      I've been talking you guys up to friends ever since joining and a few of them are finally catching on. Like everyone else I'm excited to see Vimeo grow as long as it doesn't lose the sense of community that makes it special.

      Plus... Growth means more future jobs, which means a greater possibility I will be working for you in a few years. A win-win. =)

      Whenever I tell people about vimeo, one the things I emphasize, other than the HD and the way better image quality on here, is the amazing sense community that just doesn't exist on other sites.

      So many innovative, friendly, and talented, users on Vimeo! From the first time user to the incredibly passionate and hands on staff. Vimeo is a really special place that has grown to be near and dear to my heart. No doubt we can keep this up. Let's DO THIS!
