Staff Blog / 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.

I never had a prom, this sounds promising! Also, I was honoured to be part of the beta process. (Yes, honoured. I'm from Canada. Get over it.)

great work guys, this is an awesome new version ! I'm at work now but can't wait to take the time to look everything around.
I was also wondering if vimeo foreign languages translation was something that was on the way, or if it was not the top priority at the moment.
thanks and congratulations !

I hate to sound like a broken record, but V5 is really fantastic you guys! I feel like I've stepped into the future - the layout is so aesthetically pleasing. The lines are so clean and the new video player is a real treat. Thanks for all the hours you guys put in to make this site so wonderful. I really love it.
