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 that time of the week again: Weekend Project! This weekend, we'd like to see what makes you unique and awesome. Instead of just telling, show us who you are or show us things that mean a lot to you. Make a fun and creative video that expresses who you are.

    For an extra challenge and to make things interesting, try to do something you've never done before, like utilizing drawings, or even doing a photomotion; surprise us! It's entirely up to you.

    Don't forget to add your video to the Weekend Project Group! All Weekend Project videos added to the group must be created specifically for this project, no previously uploaded videos.

    The best Self-Portrait video will get you 250MB more upload space or 5,000 HD embeds (for Plus users). The runner up will receive 100MB more upload space or 1,000 HD embeds (for Plus users).

    Your videos are due on Tuesday, June 9, 2009 by midnight (EST).

    Let's see those great videos!

    • Sasha Kalicki plus 6 months ago
      One question: does this mean that the winner will receive 250MB more upload space per week, or just a one time prize?
    • OOgle Flix plus 6 months ago
      250mb per week forever.
    • Sasha Kalicki plus 6 months ago
      Thanks for the answer! Wow, that would be really nice...

      Out comes the camera and too much other filming/editing gear! :-)

    • Wee I can't wait to see! What kind of camera did you get?
    • Danny plus 6 months ago
      I got me a Canon Vixia HF 20. Very pleased.

      And I actually got it uploaded Friday! I was really excited to edit some stock footage I was shooting for color tests:

      Hopefully a quality vs. quantity factor doesn't interfere here, as I lack an actual video camera, and am using a Nikon S200 Coolpix. This sounds really fun though.
    • It's not the equipment, its how creative you execute the project. :-) If you want you can even shoot the entire thing with your cellphone..just need to have a creative way to show what you wanna show.

    • Stefan Pavlovic 6 months ago

    • Sasha Kalicki plus 6 months ago
      A question that I posted to the group forum but haven't gotten a reply to yet:

      When you post a Weekend Project video, are you allowed to add it to other groups as well or only to the Weekend Project group?
    • You can add it to other groups too.

    • sophie pasqualetti plus 6 months ago
      I hope I will be able to make a bit of time to think about a new surprise,-after to re paint my balcony bar,,-would it be nice to make something totally new,-but You know:the creativity the most time-consuming thing!

    •  
    • Paul Davis plus 6 months ago
      Oh wow...I have such a great idea for this one, but with the busy week ahead and catching onto this late, there's no WAY I'd get it done in time. I'll wait for the next project and try to incorporate my idea.
