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.

  • Invite your friends to join Vimeo!

    by Blake Whitman January 15th, 2008

    Alrighty, so this feature has been missing for waaaaay too long, but its finally back thanks to our suave developer Jacob.

    We just re-launched the Invite your Friends feature so you can invite everyone you know in the entire world to share in the fun you're having here on Vimeo. Just type in their email address and Vimeo will send them an email inviting them to join you on Vimeo. You can add them as a contact straight from this page, and you can invite as many people as you want.

    Find this feature on the Hompage underneath the People Search, or in your navigation bar under 'Tools'.

    Enjoy!

    love,

    Vimeo Postmaster General

  • 'New Features' on our Blog

    by Blake Whitman January 8th, 2008

    Every once and a while we launch cool new features that we don't always blog about because they're kinda small and minor. Now we have a little module on the left over there called 'New Features' that will update you guys whenever we push a cool new feature.

    I'll be updating this module as needed, so if you're ever interested in whats being added to Vimeo, just check out the Blog!

  • New Avatar Features

    by dalas verdugo January 4th, 2008

    Thanks to sox and Kevin Sheurs, interacting with other users just got a lot easier! Clicking any "avatar" aka user portrait will bring up a menu of actions you can take regarding that user.

    Using this menu will make it faster to add contacts, subscribe to videos, and send messages. Here's a picture of what it looks like:



    Have fun using this!

  • Holiday Break

    by dalas verdugo December 21st, 2007

    From today, 12/21/07, until 1/2/08, the entire Vimeo staff will officially be on a Holiday break. Huge catastrophes will still be dealt with, but most small bugs will have to wait until after the Holidays to receive the attention they deserve.

    We look forward to returning from the break rested and ready to tackle the new year.

    Thanks for making 2007 our best year ever!

  • Browsing just got better

    by Soxiam November 16th, 2007

    Hello there. We just made few changes to browse pages. Now when you're browsing someone's videos, contacts, albums or channels, vimeo now offers more options to sort them in a specific order you want. You can also browse videos in thumbnail, detail or video mode. Lastly, you will notice that we've made some changes to the pagination unit based on your feedback to make it easier to use when you want to jump between pages. So please spend some time on these pages and let us know what you think.

    With these new changes, here are few neat things you can do.

    Ever wanted to see which of your videos received most 'likes' or comments from people? Go to your videos page and sort them by "most liked" or "most commented".

    You know someone who's shared private videos with you but can't remember which ones? Go to the person's videos page and choose the "private" option from the pull down menu.

    Wondering how to quickly check which videos you 'liked' from someone? Go to the person's videos page and switch to "video" format. Now when you mouse over the videos, you can tell by scanning which ones have the blue 'like' button lit up.

    Enjoy.
