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.
  • Hey folks,

    You may remember that a few weeks back we announced that we were testing our new Desktop Uploader application. Well, we've squashed a lot of bugs (thanks, early testers!), made the app quite stable, and now we're ready to move on to a public beta stage.

    This means that you no longer need an invitation to download the Desktop Uploader. Just head on over to the download page, and you can grab your very own copy.

    The Desktop Uploader is based on Adobe® AIR™ technology, so it works on a variety of operating systems. It allows you to upload multiple videos in one batch, pause and resume uploading, add titles, tags, descriptions, and basic privacy settings to your videos. We hope to add even more features in the near future. For those who are curious about how it works, the Uploader communicates with Vimeo entirely through our new API.

    After you've installed the application, if you have any troubles, please use the "Report a bug" button in the application itself to let us know. We'll fix whatever problems remain during this public beta period with your help.

    We hope you enjoy how easy it is to post videos to Vimeo with the Desktop Uploader!

    • Jeff plus 27 days ago
      Congrats on the desktop uploader. Hopefully an iPhone app is coming very soon.
    • brewcaster plus 27 days ago
      Yes, I am with Jeff. Love these great new tools, but REALLY need iPhone compatibility.... I would pay extra....

    • Calvin Hill 27 days ago
      Cool! I look forward to using it soon.
    •  
    • Jeff plus 27 days ago
      I already pay extra.

      Here is specifically what I'd like in an iPhone app from Vimeo:

      - native client on the iPhone.
      - support for uploading uncompressed video directly from the phone (at least with no additional compression, the way that emailing video files does).
      - higher file size limit than iPhone's email client imposes. 30MB would be fine.
      - support for adding multiple videos to an upload queue, and stashing the queue metadata on app close so that whenever the app is open/active, it commences uploading until the queue is empty.

      With that, Vimeo would almost be worth the cost of Plus.
    • Blake Whitman staff 27 days ago
      Thanks Jeff, remember you can always post requests and voice your ideas in our Feature Requests forum as we like to keep comments here on topic. Thanks.

      I'm getting an error before install.. it says the air file is damaged.
    • Andrew Pile staff 27 days ago
      Woah, never heard of this. Have you tried restarting your browsers and installing again? How about going to get.adobe.com/air/ and installing the latest version of AIR first?
    • Cody Smith 27 days ago
      Alright, so I uninstalled and re-installed AIR from Adobe's site, and tried downloading the app in both Firefox and Safari; still no luck. I'm running on OSX 10.5.8 . My VimeoUploader.air file is only 80kb when saved to the desktop...does that sound correct? I don't know what I could be doing wrong...
    • Blake Whitman staff 26 days ago
      can you email help at vimeo, we'll get ya squared away. Sorry for the trouble!
    • Cody Smith 26 days ago
      You got it. No worries Blake :]

    • Blake Whitman staff 27 days ago

    • Josh Reichlin plus 27 days ago
      This is completely awesome! Thanks Vimeo for re-inventing rad!

      Does this app mean I can upload videos greater than 1gig in size but still within my 5gig/wk limit?
    • Daniel Hayek staff 26 days ago
      We're experimenting with allowing uploads up to 2.5GB. It's not totally reliable just yet but we're working on it.

    • tynie626 plus 25 days ago
      i just spent 27 hours uploading a 716mb video that failed in the finishing stages, and now i restart the app and it says there's an update, but i cannot install the update because it keeps saying there is a problem with the air file.

      I'M LIVID!!!!
    • Daniel Hayek staff 25 days ago
      Hi, for help issues, go to the help center. vimeo.com/help
    • Adam Holwerda 25 days ago
      That must have been a long 27 hours. Uploading by hand, minute after minute without a computer anywhere to help...

      I got the same AIR-ror, but after it tried installing the update a few times it seemed to fix itself.

      Bummer about the big video though.

    • Davin Leivonen 25 days ago
      The desktop uploader is fantastic. It's great little tool for someone who hardly has to visit the original site (Flickr, Face, YouTube) when they're accustomed to uploading straight from the Mac applications (iPhoto, iMovie). Makes uploading all that more appealing.

    • urbangeek plus 25 days ago
      how long till the offline vimeo is here?
    • Daniel Hayek staff 24 days ago
      Where is here?

    • Daniel Hayek staff 24 days ago
      i see.
    •  
    • Adam Holwerda 25 days ago
      I just want to say, thanks so much for this. I've had so much trouble with the web uploader (dropped uploads) over the past year or so that I've almost given up trying. Not anymore! Muahahaha.

      I tried to turn it on 20 or 25 times and it only works 1 or 2 times, all other tries ended with this error. hm...

    • Northwood Media plus 23 days ago
      I'd love to Blake, but every time the program loads, it tells me I have to upgrade. When it tries to upgrade, I get the error. It won't let me do anything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

    • Bob Fitzgerald plus 24 days ago
      Not everyone in the world has an Iphone, so it would be great if there was also a WM mobile app also..

      And this Uploader rocks, I've never been a part of something run so smoothly and without problems.. Thx Vim.
