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.
  • It's no secret that Vimeo members upload some of the best content on the web. This site is a powerhouse of talent, and all of the credit for that goes to you guys.

    Our job is to do as much as we can to give all of that incredible work the exposure that it deserves and give everyone the ability to find it more easily. It's for that reason that we created Vimeo Categories: a new way to discover people, communities, and videos you might not normally see.

    Vimeo Categories work differently than similar systems you might have seen on other sites. Categories are populated automatically using your Channels and Groups. If you moderate a Channel or Group there's a new settings tab that will let you choose up to two top-level Categories to be included in. Our algorithm will automatically look at videos you've selected and include them in the Category pool, favoring videos, people, and tags that are most active and representative of that Category.

    Now that Vimeo Categories are here, your TV is going to feel lonely because you're going to be spending all your free time browsing through top-notch content on Vimeo. We've been working on Categories for several months now and have already found a boatload of new stuff we never even knew about thanks to the collective editorial consciousness of everyone here. We know you're going to love it, and you can help us by categorizing all your Groups and Channels right now!

    PS- The bulk load of Categories was written by Sean who unfortunately couldn't be here for its release because he just had a beautiful baby daughter. If you dig Categories give him a big thank you here!

      Finally a good way to browse.

      And where is the video of the baby girl? :)

      edit: some pictures of the featured categories are missing... at least "Technology"

    • OOgle Flix plus 6 months ago
      Love the new categories section. It takes Vimeo's professional stance up another notch. The layout and design of the pages themselves are very well done, too. Awesome job, Sean! :D

    • armandoalves 6 months ago
      Great feature. Any way to get RSS feeds on categories ?
    • Soxiam staff 6 months ago
      we've considered rss and subscription options for categories but decided that's not the direction we want to drive this product for now.
    • armandoalves 6 months ago
      That's understandable. It's already huge step forward the automated categorization, which i'll hope will be used wisely by the community.

      Maybe in the future, ultra-niche categories could have RSS. Oh, wait ... we call that groups :)

      thanks for the reply.
    • Andrew Pile staff 6 months ago
      To add to Sox's point, we didn't want to detract from the Channels and Groups in these Categories. If you like what you see, subscribe to them!
    • Kevin Sheurs staff 6 months ago
      ...same with people and tags :)
    • Blake Whitman staff 6 months ago

    • Mongovision 6 months ago
      Good job!!! It will be better if we can select wich category belongs to every video. In our channel we have comedy videos, but also concerts from our band, but also experimental stuff, but also... it's only a suggestion. Thanks again.

    • OOgle Flix plus 6 months ago
      Been browsing categories a bit more. Awesome work, but I'm still a bit sketchy on how one gets their work into a category. Are you saying that a video is selected only from being in channels and groups tagged under a relevant category and tags, and only if the video itself is highly viewed / liked / commented? And this is done automatically by a program?
    • Blake Whitman staff 6 months ago
      it rates videos in channels and groups highest, then videos that aren't in channels and groups that have more likes and related tags and titles.
    •  
    • rick fiduccia plus 6 months ago
