People absolutely love our video player
The platform is so easy to use, and it's great to have control over the privacy settings for my videos. The ability to customize the video player and embed it on my website has also been very useful. Vimeo has been a great platform for showcasing my work and connecting with others who share my passion for video production.
5 out of 5 ratingFelipe L.Verified ReviewPhotographer/VideographerVimeo gives me a place to upload videos for review and collaboration with clients. I also embed Vimeo videos on my website because I know the quality will be amazing!
5 out of 5 ratingMeredith C.Verified ReviewDirector/Editor/ProducerVimeo not only allows me to organize my resources efficiently, but it also makes it easy to share videos privately and securely. I love how I can password protect my videos and share them only with the group of people I choose. Plus, the fact that Vimeo doesn't show ads is a big plus!
5 out of 5 ratingVerified G2 reviewVerified ReviewEducation ManagementThe upside of using Vimeo lies in its emphasis on high-quality, artistic content, robust features for creators, and a clean viewing experience for users.
5 out of 5 ratingNitish S.Verified ReviewInfluencer Marketing ManagerIt's great to be able to customize the player with my brand colors. I love that I can control what is shown at the end... other platforms play related videos, which are frequently competitors. I can restrict access, as well as where videos can be embedded. And I appreciate how I can update videos without changing the URL.
5 out of 5 ratingNick S.Verified ReviewCommunications ConsultantNot only is Vimeo great to store videos, but there's also the option to livestream. It's clean and allows for easy embedding. The privacy options are superb — you can hide and archive videos with ease or provide private access with a password. It succeeds YouTube in that regard.

Answers to common video player questions
If a video isn't playing, the problem usually lies with your browser, device, or internet connection. Start by refreshing the page or clearing your browser's cache and cookies to resolve any temporary issues. If that doesn't work, make sure your browser is updated and attempt to play the video in another browser. For problems related to your device, try restarting it or verify that the graphics drivers are up to date. Lastly, check that your internet connection is stable and fast enough for streaming, and consider temporarily disabling any VPNs, ad-blockers, geo-blocking location restrictions, or firewalls that could be affecting the video player.
