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.

Welcome to Version 5 of Vimeo!
Welcome to the new Vimeo. A lot has changed on the surface, but the same philosophy of respect for you and your videos remains. In many ways, we've simplified things, and I encourage you to explore the site for a few hours to digest the differences. One change is that "Your videos" now includes any video you appear in or otherwise have a credit for.
I've built websites for ten years and directed videos for sixteen, and I've never been prouder of anything I've worked on. We've been building this new version ("v5") for over six months and it feels so good to finally release it. But what I'm most excited about is the near future, the next couple months. We have an elite pack of passionate professionals who are going to tear into our development pipeline like wolves into flesh; like prom dates at each others' formalwear. You're sitting right up front; prepare for a lot of blood.
If you'd like to discuss the new version, we created The v5 Forum just for you.Showing 100 of 169 comments. Want to see the rest?This conversation is missing your voice. Take five seconds to join Vimeo or log in.

Update: So far, I am impressed! :D
This is awesome.
I was about to call it a night. Vimeo ruined my sleep schedule! Sweetly ruined it, so deliciously.
Now I gotta find a new profile image to celebrate!
Excellent work, Creative Ventures team!
As a V5-Beta tester I want to congratulate you and the developers on great new version of Vimeo. I feel priveleged to have been a part of the Beta testing and want to says thanks for letting me be a part of it. Stay true to YOUR vision my friend!
Oh and by the way I want to see you running through the streets and alleyways of NYC eating a fish taco.
I probably hate advertising (as we know it on the web today) as deeply and fundamentally as anyone you know. But I'm optimistic.
(And, by the way, I do love the new interface, and I should be sleeping but am wired awake playing with it.)
Please be patient with the ads. Fortunately, there are always solutions to problems. And, were good problem solvers ;)
I even like your ads, I clicked four of them already!
needless but lovely.
Beautiful redesign guys and gals, congratulations.
thank you for making my newest addiction even sweeter
Congratulations to the whole team for all the hard work!
