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.
  • If you go to your settings page you'll notice a new section called "Profile page". Here, you can customize which 3 videos appear on your profile page as well as replace your portrait with a video (they have to be your own videos). We've also cleaned up the profile page design a bit.

    We've also modified the "online now" feature. If a user has been active on Vimeo in the past few minutes, their portrait will have a light blue border. We've actually had this for a long time but it was previously a boring grey border and wasn't documented, so it's kind of like a new feature!

    • la gorrionera plus 1 year ago
      Thank you for the information. It would be great if you could fix the problems replacing the videos. The "replace video" function is really usefull and one of your better services, not given by others. Don't make it useless!!!
      In all cases, thank you and congratulations for your work. Vimeo is a great place for films and videos.
    • OOgle Flix plus 1 year ago
      I agree. After you release Vimeo Plus, this should be a main priority. New features are nice, but what's the use when current features need developing or fixing?
    • dalas verdugo staff 1 year ago
      We usually have a pattern of releasing big things, then taking some time to do intensive bugfixing. I imagine after Plus is released we will be able to do some serious squashing.
    • la gorrionera plus 1 year ago
      Ok!! That's fine. Thank you.
      Good luck with the Plus release and later lifetime!

      PD: Congratulations to the whole crew for the succesfull data migration.

      hmm is the favorite contacts feature gone?

      I dug that one.
    • Totes!
    • Soxiam staff 1 year ago
      we've decided to retire that feature for now. while it was fun to offer something like that it just didn't gain much traction among the users.

      like everything else on vimeo, this new release was just a step forward. we already have some cool ideas on making the profile page even more customizable in the future. it's just matter of finding some time to devote to it.
    • andre 3000 1 year ago
      I also liked the favorite contacts section. Any chance it will be brought back?
    • Perez 1 year ago
      "favorite contacts"??
      where was that???
    • Underground Planet plus 1 year ago
      I never even saw that feature, maybe folks didn't know about it and thats why it didn't gain traction.
    • walt 1 year ago
      yeah that was cool

    • Bryan Woods 1 year ago
      This is all great, but the actual profile picture I think its unecessarily too big. No one has pictures that size on the web. Everyone's used to forum size around 100x100 or 50x50. So if someone uploads their icon they use all over the net and it happens to be 50x50 (like mine) it gets horribly pixellated as the code tries to stretch the image. Any way there could be a feature to keep smaller icons from being stretched in the profile picture?
    • Soxiam staff 1 year ago
      honestly i think the big ass photo is the best part about the vimeo profile page.
    • Underground Planet plus 1 year ago
      lmao, yea Sox, and the videos here on Vimeo are just to freekin big, can we make em smaller like on YouTube and other sites?

      Bryan, it's called Photoshop.
    • Kevin Mosley plus 1 year ago
      "That's not change, That's more of the same!!!"
    • Bryan Woods 1 year ago
      "Bryan, it's called Photoshop." Oh reaaaally. It appears you don't get that a small image, blown up in size via any image processor, will come out extremely pixellated unless is a vector image. My image, is not vector, and was originally made for forums, hence its 50x50 size. So clearly photoshop will not help me out with my currently problem here.
    • Casey Pugh plus 1 year ago
      I think our HD quality video is unnecessarily too big as well. :)
    • dalas verdugo staff 1 year ago
      Bryan, I'm pretty sure you've lost this argument in a very deep way.
    • Bryan Woods 1 year ago
      Yeah, thats great. I offer a critique about a feature of the site, and get slapped in the face with patronizing comments by the community and staff. Thanks guys, keep up the good work. I'll remember to keep my mouth shut next time I feel the urge to critique something on Vimeo.
    • Angel Torres 1 year ago
      50x50 pixels are too small man... Get in the new age, This is Vimeo not a V-Bulletin Forum.

      Keep up the good work guys, and if Vimeo Plus is cooking up, I'm definitely in! And that's the first time I'm willing to go premium on a web-site. ;)
    • Underground Planet plus 1 year ago
      Bryan, your request was funny, sorry if you took offense to my response. But to your point, if you can't see that it's a bit ridiculous for you to request that a site build itself around your images shortcomings, well, I don't know what to tell you. I am very aware of the differences between vector and non-vector images. What doesn't make sense is that you started with an image that was 50x50. And yes, there is a way in PHOTOSHOP that you can keep your image from being uprezed. Simply make an image 300x300 and put your 50x50 image in the middle of it, with a white background it will blend with your page. Wow, how cool is that? Furthermore your tiny logo would be pretty easy to recreate in PHOTOSHOP were you to just try.

      And if I seem a wee bit curt in this reply it is in response to your annoyed disposition and seeming inability to find a simple workaround couple with your immediate rejection of my suggestion you use Photoshop to deal with your issue. Forgive me for assuming that since on your profile you state you are a "visual effects artist" I had some degree of faith in your ability to figure it out on your own.
    • Bryan Woods 1 year ago
      Ugh, see? This is horrible. You're completely misunderstanding me. This is incredibly infuriating. When in my original comment did I ever ask for vimeo to build its self around my personal preferences?! All I asked was the possibility of adding another option! Thats all it was! I'm not demanding vimeo to conform to my needs, it was a simple suggestion! And yet here you and others are, quick to judge, ready to pounce on any comment that may strike you strange.

      I made that icon. Years ago. I don't feel like going back and making it bigger or altering it in any way. Its not worth my time! So I thought i'd suggest the option to keep the code from stretching images smaller than the default size.

      Really. Thats it. Thats all it ever was. It. Was. A. Simple. SIMPLE. Suggestion. Its not like if I don't get my way I'll leave vimeo or something. Something like this is so trivial its ridiculous. I suggest to YOU, seeing how you're probably many years older than me, perhaps more experienced than me in one area of film or another, that you tone down your attitude and be more professional and not so quick to judge. You're acting like a child.
    • Underground Planet plus 1 year ago
      lol, my bad Bryan, I guess I didn't understand what you were saying. Its easier for them to change the coding site wide then for you to take five minutes to fix your icon and that they should make this change because you don't feel like changing it cuz it's not worth your time. Sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake but thanks for the clarification, I stand corrected.
    • Perez 1 year ago
      Personally, I like Bryans icon very much.. And I don´t mind that it is pixelated - actually, I think it´s pretty cool!

      but that´s just me......

      Oh my god, that is the coolest thing EVER! I'd donate all my goats and hamsters to you guys for adding the video portrait feature... if I had any of those. XD I didn't know you could upload videos at that resolution, though. Or even create them, for that matter. :S Hats off to Karen for that vid! :D Loving the new profile page look, too! Great upgrade.
    • Hoop-CA, USA 1 year ago
      Alright, I'll go check it out....

      wooo!

      I've wanted featured videos for a looong time!

      I LOOOOVE the new profile page!!

      I have one problem, what happened to the "on you" part of the "Recent activity"??
    • Casey Pugh plus 1 year ago
      We decided to simplify the activity module for the profile, but things like "on you" still exist on the activity tab of your home page.
    • Benk 1 year ago
      Found it! (I didn't know you could see the 'on you' section in the activity module)

      thanks for the quick reply :)

    • ojo plus 1 year ago
      gr8. thx a lot!
    •  
    • Oh My!!

      I'm not really a big fan of the new Rounded Colored Rectangles on the profile page actually... doesn't look as sleek as the rest of the site. What's the idea behind the amusement-park design?

      The profile-video is great though. I'm making a new video especially for that. :D
    • Andrew Pile staff 1 year ago
      They're rounded because they're link button, it's a convention around most of the site.
    • It's not the roundedness of the corners i dislike. It's more the bulkyness and all the different colors.
    • Soxiam staff 1 year ago
      sorry to hear you find it disagreeable with your taste. one of the design issues we were trying to solve with this release was people are still asking us questions like "where do i find more than 3 videos on my profile page?".

      bold colors are used throughout vimeo (such as the headings) to draw user's attention and also to differentiate different sections within a page. the use of colored buttons were sort of an extension of that with the same purpose.
    • Hmmm ok, well that makes sense. Well it's good to know that it serves a purpose. Makes it easier to swallow ;)

      btw, let me take the opportunity to compliment you on the community and staff involvement at vimeo. I find it extraordinary.
    • Soxiam staff 1 year ago
      thanks. trust me when i say it's only because you folks are engaged and encouraging us with your involvement.

    • Suzanne Broughton plus 1 year ago
      Looks good. Totally different from anything else out there.

      I lost my "Groups." Everyone else looks like they have their groups still--was there a meeting or something?
    • Soxiam staff 1 year ago
      yes the groups and channels listing was one of the modules we've decide to retire in this release. we have some ideas in the work for the next release of the profile page which will include the ability for users to showcase any content they want (videos, groups, channels, contacts, etc.) so most likely the feature will come back then.
    • Suzanne Broughton plus 1 year ago
      Thank you for your reply. I'm really happy with Vimeo. You guys are doing a great job.

    • thunker54 plus 1 year ago
      Would be nice to have the option to sort one's videos by "most recently viewed"
    •  
    • Perez 1 year ago
      hmm... i didn´t like it..
      where´s the 'recent activity on you' (profile page)??

      How will I know if one of my videos was liked?

      That feature took forever to load (at least on my computer), but it was a good feature. Don´t remove it, please.
    • Casey Pugh plus 1 year ago
      We decided to simplify the activity module for the profile, but things like "Activity on you" still exist on the activity tab of your home page.
    • Perez 1 year ago

    • nagash 1 year ago
      the new profile page is way better. you still need to fix the home page. It's kind of hard keep track of my subscribed groups and channels - they are 2 steps behind the videos menu, I think they deserved more evidence. just my 2 cents.
    • Soxiam staff 1 year ago
      i am not sure if you aware of...

      * the default "all subscriptions" menu in your inbox will display newly added videos on channels and groups you are subscribed to.
      * you can further filter your inbox by selecting "channel subscriptions" or "group subscriptions" from the said menu.
      * you can access to the list of channels and groups you moderate/subscribe to from the top nav bar.
    • nagash 1 year ago
      hi Soxiam.
      I know that, but I dont mean just new subscriptions. I like to visit the channel/group pages, as they have other features than the submitted videos, and I think the access could be easier. in the top nav bar, I first see only channels I moderate. most people dont moderate lots of channels, so why dont show moderated AND subscribed videos right in the first page, and not hidden in a filter combo? maybe you find this peanuts, but I think it's sensitive - I never find my good damned channels : )

      hey, i'm not being funny guys, but ever since the changes on vimeo, its been a real pain to use...it seems slower and things are not uploading as good as they used to for me, and my stats are all off, etc etc, pages take ages to load, then they go blank.

      i love vimeo guys, i just want to know if it is me or others have had similar. and don't worry, i'll pay when that comes around so i'm here for the ride, but it does seem like my account has been hacked. again. has all the signs. paranoia and design, nice mix.
      thanks in advance
