New Features

  • Share on Twitter
    Now you can share your videos on Twitter! Just click the Share icon in a video to launch the Share module.
  • Channel Notifications
    Channel owners now have a new section in their channel settings to optionally receive emails for when someone posts a message to their shoutbox and for when someone subscribes to their channel. Adding moderators to your channel also now has an approval process, where both parties will receive emails when the request happens, and when the request is approved.
  • People Subscribed To Me
    There is now a new page within your My Contacts where you can see what users are subscribed to you and what they are subscribed to (likes, videos, and/or appearances).
  • Featured videos for your group
    Have any videos you want to show off in your group? You can easily add any 3 group videos to feature on your group homepage.
  • Featured videos on your profile page
    Have any videos you want to show off on your profile page? You can easily add any of your 3 public videos to feature on your profile page. Try it now.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • We're struggling to fix yet another outage at one of our datacenters (it's been a tough two weeks). This is what has been causing the "Sorry this video is no longer available" error for new videos along with long wait times to encode videos. Don't worry, we'll eventually repair all the broken videos and get everything encoded, but for mean time uploads are disabled. Thanks for your patience!

    Update: We've pushed a fix that should re-enable encoding so anyone waiting in line should have their video encoded in the next few hours. Next job is to locate any broken videos from earlier today and re-encode them. Uploads are still off for now and will probably remain off until the morning.

    Update 2: Uploading had been restored. Please report any new problems here.

      Replacing videos still works, just so you know.
    • Andrew Pile staff 1 year ago
      Feel free to do that, but there's a good chance it's going to get stuck. Your best option is to wait.
    • Marc Köhlbrugge 1 year ago
      I was already uploading it before I read this post. We'll see how it goes.

      Wow, bad timing on my part... Guess we'll see if the video that made it in just before uploads were disabled is rendered sometime tomorrow? Otherwise I guess I'll try again next week?

      No need to reply unless you're bored. (Which sounds unlikely give the tech mayhem.) Best of luck with the datacenter!

      (The unlucky vid is vimeo.com/1519677 now showing a wait time of 175 mins. Hope things get better for you soon!)
    • dalas verdugo staff 1 year ago
      I don't think next week will be necessary. We'll try to have it back up soon.
    • B Unis plus 1 year ago
      Thanks. Six am and the original made it under the wire.

      The next week comment was me thinking worst case scenario, as the vid in question was around 217MB, and I'd already UL'd almost 250 earlier in this week, so -- assuming I got docked for this UL and it hadn't gone through okay, it might have been next week before I had the UL credits to resend. But all that is moot as it went up as sent the first time, just under the wire.

      Thanks and well wishes to datacenters everywhere. ;)

      we actually got stuck when changing the thumbnail for one of our videos. the thumb switched away from the current one to a gray box. we left it for a couple of days too and it didn't get fixed. so we switched it back to the original one and we're good to go.

      We need more gerbils!
    • dalas verdugo staff 1 year ago
      You're up late on the East Coast! Now I want to stay up just as late as you!

      I won't be beat, Whitman!
    • Matt staff 1 year ago
      haha, not to intrude on the conversation, but all the best work in NY get's done at 4am.
    • I can supply paper gerbils.
    • Benk 1 year ago
      Does anyone remember the 'game' Gerbils?

    • Brian Z plus 1 year ago
      replace the gerbils with hamsters. hamsters are a more reliable source of power.

      Ya my vid has been stuck in holding pattern for about 12 hours. Those lazy air traffic controllers need to let me land, geez. At least I have my 500mb back so I can try again this afternoon or something. Does the holding pattern message relate to this problem or did I just get the error because I exported poorly?

      Guys, don't post support requests here. Contact help or use the forums link.

      I can't upload, I am getting the message "We're working on our upload system right now. Please check back in a few hours. Thanks!"

      I have been getting that message for 5 hours, is the problem on my end?

      Ey! I have a problem! I've been waiting almost 7 hours for my video to be converted, it is only one minute long! How much i have to wait?? Or where I have to post this problem?

      Thanks!
