New Features

  • Improved Searching
    We've been waiting for this. The toolbar search is now much more accurate.
  • 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.
  • 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' magnifying glass on any page, 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.

  • Back up and running!

    by Jakob Lodwick June 12th, 2006

    Everything should be restored and working now - I hope your weekend without Vimeo wasn't too disruptive. The downtime was caused when we tried to upgrade our servers to add much more disk space, and unfortuantely we had some unanticipated hardware failure. We'll do our best to avoid these problems in the future, and hope you're not too upset with us.

  • We've upgraded

    Sorry for the downtime everyone, we've been busy upgrading the servers and adding space. Uploads are currently disabled, they should return shortly. Thanks for being patient!

  • We're having issues; please be patient.

    by Jakob Lodwick May 30th, 2006

    Some clips have not been converted, and many thumbnails are appearing as colored stripes instead of an actual frame from the video. We are aware of these problems and working on them right now. Thanks for being patient.

  • New forums, context browser, and more.

    by Jakob Lodwick May 12th, 2006

    We made some improvements. First off, the Forums have been cleaned up. Also, you can finally edit and delete your posts. And, we created a Projects forum for organizing videos with other users.

    Another change is the new context browser on clip pages (see the image). This gives you more control when browsing the site - try playing with it.

    Our friend Jacob DeHart (of Threadless fame) made a script to change the behavior of the menus in the header. We liked it, and made the change official. Let us know if you hate it.

    ONE MORE THING: tag a clip with "for my profile" and it will appear on your profile page.

  • Vimeo search plugin for Firefox!

    by Jakob Lodwick April 24th, 2006

    Vimeo user hey_suburbia made a cool Vimeo search plugin for FireFox. I installed it and it works great!

    Also: we're considering another increase in weekly disk space. Don't expect anything drastic, but I just wanted to let you know that we are discussing it.

  • Vimeo 4.0 launches! Finally! It launched! V4!

    by Jakob Lodwick April 18th, 2006

    We finally switched to the new version of the site. Honestly, I am so tired that I can't write anything that expresses how happy I am for everyone who made this happen, including the v4 beta testers, Zach, Kunal, Andrew, and myself! Yes, I'm happy for myself.

    Zach wrote about it extensively in his blog.

    If you have problems, please email them to us (link is at the bottom of the page). Also, we're interested in hearing your general feedback, positive or negative.

    Good night!

    by Jakob Lodwick April 11th, 2006

    We decided to give everyone an extra 10 megs of weekly space; now you have 30 megs a week. Enjoy.
