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.

  • Vimeo 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!

  • It'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.

  • Vimeo is a nicer, higher-quality, more professional alternative to YouTube. It has more features that are desirable for marketing teams hosting videos for landing pages, nurture sequences, classes, etc.
