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.

  • Upload Limit Increased to 250 MB per week!

    by Vimeo Staff January 25th, 2007

    Since the beginning, the most frequent request we have gotten here at Vimeo has been "more space, please!"

    Well, today is your day. We have upgraded everyone's upload limit to 250 MB per week. We hope you have a lot of fun using your new space to upload videos that you created.

    Click here to watch a special video celebrating the occasion.

  • New Feature: Request a clip

    by dalas verdugo January 23rd, 2007

    We just launched a great new feature that will make it easier for you to make special requests of your favorite Vimeo members.

    Click here to watch a video tutorial.

    If you have an idea for a video that you would like to see someone make, just go to their profile page and click on "Request a clip from..." Describe the video you want to see, then click submit. That user will receive an email letting them know about the video you want them to create.

    After you have received a request and made the requested video, you will notice that on your upload page there is drop down menu that contains all of your clip requests. Simply select the request that you are fulfilling from this menu and your video will be marked as a reply to that request.

    Try it out!

  • New Feature: Replies to your comments

    by dalas verdugo January 11th, 2007

    Thanks to our new developer, Casey Pugh, you will now receive email notifications when someone replies to a comment you have left. Even if it is not on your clip!

    This will go a long way towards making it easier to have fun comment threads.

    Casey has more great features in the works, so stay tuned!

    by dalas verdugo January 8th, 2007

    Please excuse our downtime the week of January 8th. We are in the process of switching to newer, faster servers to make Vimeo even better! We will try to perform the necessary work during hours that will cause the least inconvenience to users.

  • 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.
