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.
  • Vimeo is growing fast!

    We have been witnessing extraordinary growth in the recent months. For example, in March we had over 70,000 uploads (9,200 of those were HD) and over two million unique visitors to the website.

    We'd like to extend a welcome to all of our new users. Vimeo thrives on community feedback, so remember to let your voice be heard, either in our Forums or in a direct email to your Community Directors, dalas and Blake.

    Vimeo is a special community among video sharing websites. To help us keep unoriginal material off the site, use the Flag link on the page where you watch a video. To help us keep the atmosphere pleasant, be respectful and polite with your comments, even when you might disagree with another member.

    If we work together, we can keep Vimeo awesome!

      I agree with Bobby, as far as the growth is concerned. The growth is awesome for you guys but doesn't "mainstream" kinda suck?! LOL. I havent been that long of a member, but I really love the website. I literally log on everyday. I'm more hooked on Vimeo than myspace! LOL. Thanks again for the great site, the great community, and awesome possibilities you give....

      Keep it up!

    • Tucker 4 months ago
      I've been having trouble uploading videos recently. Maybe due to the growth. They take a long time to start encoding, and once they are done, I get a message saying "your video was not found. the Vimeo staff has been notified."

      Any ideas on how to fix this? Also, I tried to delete one of the videos this happened to and it still appears in the list of my videos. When I click on it, it says that the video cannot be found.

      I love Vimeo, but is it experiencing growing pains?

      -Tucker
    • Andrew Pile 4 months ago
      The delay in encoding is something we're working hard to fix!

      As for the file not found errors, that's a bug we've been squashing for the past day or so.
    • I have no trouble uploading videos.
      But I had an experience with 'your video was not found'.

      I deleted the video and once I have deleted it, it still was in 'my videos'. After 24 hours or so, the video was also gone in 'my videos'.

      you guys are great. I found you after getting a HD camera and wanting a place to show them. Once I found you it was even better to see such a great community that actually helps, unlike the 12 year old comments on Youtube.

      Yes, great community here. Glad to know you're all doing your best to keep this site free from any illegal or commercial content. Although that could become an even bigger job the more the site grows. Lets just hope people remember to flag that stuff.
    • Blake Whitman 4 months ago
      keeping crap off of Vimeo is one of our top priorities. Even if we have to hire a "Director of Crap Removal" we will do so ;)

    • Jenna Fox 4 months ago
      Noooo! No vimeo pro! Maybe sell an extra gig of uploads for a buck or something as a once off thing to cover costs, but I really hope Vimeo doesn't go down the road Flickr did by withholding user's content and simple but useful features for subscription payments. I'm learning to hate flickr because of it, now that some of my best photo's have seemingly vanished in to the void unless I pay them a fee I can't really afford.
    • dalas verdugo 4 months ago
      We would certainly never force you to pay to keep your videos from vanishing.

So glad that Vimians have been respectful with their comments. Special shout-out to Blake! The advice and suggestions I've received here have really impacted my creativity. Thanks for everything! :)

      Brilliant site. Great customer service and help pages, and amazing quality. Don't ever dumb it down... I'd pay for extra space (if I needed it) it might be a nice idea...

      I don't want you to be mainstream... niche is good!

      Thanks guys (all the way from the Dorset countryside in the UK!)

      I think its awesome you're growing. Decent HD capabilities as well as an awesome tech-support team is a great combination. The only problem is all the new guys are killing the upload times, but im sure youre way ahead of me on that!

      Peace x

      I found the site when I wanted to check out the showreel of an animator a few months ago. Looking around a bit more I found Jake and Amir, some amazing travel videos, the HD channel... Now I'm seriously hooked, it's amazing to see all the fun and creativity that you can find here, very inspirational!

      Thank you guys, go vimeo!

      It seems like Vimeo is, in many ways, the best video site there is currently. I have noticed some errors in data processing, but even so, this beats the rivals. I have a feeling this service will grow even more rapidly in the future.

      I wonder if you also will buy more transcoding servers to overcome user growth.
      I've got a question, why you won't put adsense on the pages instead of that car company?, I really will be sad to see Vimeo shutdown the business because of lack of revenue.

      Best video community by far-hands down. YouTube can not compete. The atmosphere is definitely pleasant here and the technology is wow!

      Like with everything else nothing is perfect and I can see you guys know what you are doing.

      I had my account with you for a while and just decided this year to start my uploads. I 've learned alot so far from the very knowledgeable and creative people on this site.

      Keep up the good work.

      I've been talking you guys up to friends ever since joining and a few of them are finally catching on. Like everyone else I'm excited to see Vimeo grow as long as it doesn't lose the sense of community that makes it special.

      Plus... Growth means more future jobs, which means a greater possibility I will be working for you in a few years. A win-win. =)

      Whenever I tell people about vimeo, one the things I emphasize, other than the HD and the way better image quality on here, is the amazing sense community that just doesn't exist on other sites.

      So many innovative, friendly, and talented, users on Vimeo! From the first time user to the incredibly passionate and hands on staff. Vimeo is a really special place that has grown to be near and dear to my heart. No doubt we can keep this up. Let's DO THIS!
