VIDEO PRIVACY

Instantly. Permissions update in real-time across all devices and platforms. When you change a video’s privacy settings or remove team member access, the changes are immediate — no waiting periods or delays.

Yes, Vimeo provides detailed analytics for all privacy levels. You can see viewer statistics, engagement metrics, and access patterns. Enterprise accounts get additional analytics features for internal content sharing.

Most advanced privacy features require paid plans.

Free plans include Public and Private settings.

Paid plans (Starter, Standard, Advanced) include Unlisted, Password protection, Hide from Vimeo, plus embed domain-level privacy controls.

Enterprise plans add custom permissions, SSO integration (SAML/SCIM), and advanced team management.

While Vimeo doesn’t offer automatic time-expiring links, you can manually control access duration by:

• Using Unlisted videos with privacy hash URLs that you can change by updating privacy settings
• Setting up password-protected videos and changing passwords when access should expire
• Adding/removing team members from Private videos as needed
• Using the “Hide from Vimeo” setting to control when embedded videos are accessible

For more granular time-based controls, Enterprise accounts offer custom permissions that can be managed through your admin dashboard.

Download protection varies by privacy setting:

• Private videos: Cannot be embedded anywhere, providing the strongest download protection
• Password/Unlisted videos: Have basic download prevention, but determined users with technical knowledge may still access content

For maximum security, use Private settings combined with team member access controls. Enterprise accounts receive additional forensic tracking capabilities to monitor unauthorized access attempts.

Team collaboration with Private videos works through Vimeo’s team member system:

• Private videos are visible to the owner, account admins, and any team members granted access to the video or its folder
• Team member access is not supported on Free, Basic, or Plus plans
• Paid plans allow you to add team members and control their access to specific videos or folders
• Enterprise accounts with SSO can authenticate team members automatically for internal sharing

You can grant access at the individual video level or organize content in folders with team-specific permissions.
