Vimeo Second Class Italian Customers

I've just sent this message to the Vimeo support

I'm p*****d as hell

Everything started with a friend sending me a link to a video on WhatsApp. I open the link with the android app and want to see the author's profile.

- I can follow him
- I can like its video
- if I try to click on his name/avatar nothing happens. neither on the app, nor on the desktop site.

Then I try with other people I interact with usually, and find that even for them I can no longer access their profile.

So I try searching for these people (who I repeat: I follow, I've liked them dozens of videos and some of them are my video work partners).

From the android app, the search (as I imagine you already know) only works within my videos. To my amazement I find that I cannot even browse “all of Vimeo” anymore. So if I don't have a direct link, I can no longer even see the videos of my work colleagues and friends. Do you understand? CO-WORKERS!!!

Unbelieving I go to the desktop and find that the behavior is the same. with the difference that at least in the search I get a “this page is not available in your region”.

I used to use Vimeo for work but I as an Italian can no longer search for any video and user for my work. I looked like an idiot. A client writes to me about a possible collaboration and I can't see his profile on Vimeo. He sent me the link to his video and now I should write to him to send him the direct link to his profile because I am Italian.

Since the subscription fee does not depend on the country I live in my only option is to unsubscribe.

Farewell

Vimeo alternative for finding inspiration?

So… that was it for Vimeo. Anyone has any alternatives for watching high quality videos? Vimeo was my main source for inspiration by finding commercials, branded content, shorts, following DOP’s and directors, etc.

Did Vimeo alter the Plus Plan? I now have different account parameters.

After getting an email telling me that I needed to update my payment methods to include a zip code I decided to pay early since today is the deadline. After doing so I was sent to what looked like a new user screen, and the email confirmation I received was similar. Looking at my account page I now have a 250gb limit instead of 5gb a week.

Also the price went up 5 dollars unannounced.

Overall I guess I'm okay with this, but it seems kinda weird that they would change the terms without prior notification...unless they did and I just missed it.

Was this planned?

Channels gone/broken?

We‘re managing the vimeo account for a customer. They‘ve been using channels for a few years now. Suddenly channels are gone and there‘s a message saying „the page is not available in your region“. We can‘t access channels, add videos to channels or manage them. What happened?

Help, several videos from my account have disappeared

I hosted several videos on Vimeo for a documentary film project. The videos were embedded on a project website, as well as various websites around the web. Some high profile like PBS, some UN pages, Newsweek, etc. One of the videos was used by last week tonight. It’s important information and project I spent years on, so I would like to get the videos back.

Someone reached out to say the videos were down and sure enough, I logged into my Vimeo and they were deleted. I don’t know when they disappeared. Anyone know what might have happened?

Can I get them back? I’m hoping someone who works at Vimeo (hi IAC building) may see this and help.

Help uploading a too large video that can't be compressed?

I have three videos-two that are over three minutes, and one that is way shorter, like 7 seconds.

The one that is 7 seconds, I have on vimeo right now-no problem.

However, I am at work right now, and pretty sure I'm unable to download any programs/extensions for video editing due to that. Vimeo refuses to accept either a compressed video or the full one, citing that it doesn't meet their compression guidelines.

I could use capcut on my phone, or edit directly from my library, but the buttons are so small i'm having difficulty, and I can't turn my volume down all the way and don't want to bother the other person in my office.

help??

Vimeo didn't charge my card, bumped me to the free version, and won't let me upgrade.

I've been a Business Pro user for a couple of years now and had no problems with my service. However, even though I'm on auto pay, Vimeo didn't charge my card this August.

I logged in to discover I had been bumped to a free account. This is worrisome as I have 35 GB of videos and the free plan only allows for 5 GB. I contacted support and they told me to upgrade back to my old plan. Annoying, since I didn't take myself off auto pay.

But, now, when I try to upgrade, the 'complete purchase' button on the checkout page doesn't work.

I've been emailing support for WEEKS. They keep telling me my issue is resolved, but I'm still on the free plan.

I'm literally trying to give them hundreds of dollars and they refuse to help. I asked if they could send an invoice but they said no.

I'm at the end of my patience here and ready to switch to YouTube. This is ridiculous. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Details: this is not a cookie or browser issue, it's been replicated on multiple browsers on different computers.It seems like there's a problem with their payment system.

Selling or renting out content on Vimeo, good idea? Any creators here generating good revenues with these products?

I'm considering trying to sell access to some content, however i'm trying to weigh up the Pros and Cons. It seems that its only possible with a Vimeo OTT subscription, but i can see to get any information on how much this would cost?

My Vimeo videos not playing on smartboard

I’m a teacher and have created videos in my Vimeo plus account that I hyperlink in my Google slides when I’m presenting lessons on my smartboard. For a while the link would open, but not play the video (black screen, spinning arrow). My workaround was to click “manage video”and play it through there, which worked for a time but no longer does. If I attach my laptop to the screen everything works fine, but it is a pain to tether the laptop when the Smartboard is supposed to do all of this. The IT guy at my school doesn’t know Vimeo or smartboards, and isn’t a classroom teacher… not very helpful. Any suggestions??

Hotlinks in registration emails?

I’m trying to use the registration feature on a live event, and I cant add clickable links or hotlinks to the automated emails.

According to the relevant Support article, hot links should be possible, but the link icon is missing from available formatting options.

When I copy/paste a link in full, it is missing when I send a test email.

Any ideas?

Vimeo VOD alternative

I have used vimeo for years but I am very unsatisfied now. I used to make $1000 per month with my Video on demand sales and now it's dropped to $100.

I would like a streaming host that also MARKETS my videos based on the viewers needs. I did like the original vimeo for that very reason. I would post and the money would roll in.

Is there any hosting or other that would make most of their money off of the percentage of the sale of my videos and not off of me paying the compnay. Does such a thing exist?

Thanks

Distorted playback on desktop

One of my video file links is playing back really weird on desktop (FF and Chrome for Mac.) The page loads and media player loads streched from the left side of the screen to the right, but the video only loads on the left hand side of the media player. The video is zoomed snd and swirled and skips frames with some frames overlaid on each other.

Playback is normal on mobile and oddly also normal when using picture-in-picture on desktop.

I watched some videos from other accounts, and playback was normal.

Others have reported similar issues with this same video in the last 24 hours.

I uploaded a replacement video (same file size, same export settings) and it’s been stuck optimising for 2 hours now. It’s a festival submission so any people advice or help would be amazing! Thanks!

I've had a Vimeo Plus membership for years – to host videos for my portfolio. My membership lapsed because of an expired card and almost none of my videos were viewable afterward. I've upgraded back to Plus, but the videos (once viewable on my site) still won't show up and play. What gives?

So yea, title. Do the videos I previously uploaded under my Plus account get reset or something, do I need to reupload them? What gives?

Adding custom CSS to portfolio collections - guide?

I've tried this a few times and, as a novice, I've never had much luck customizing the CSS in my portfolios beyond left-justifying the description text field.

Has Vimeo (or anyone else) ever produced a comprehensive guide, or at least a basic primer, on how to utilize CSS for customizing portfolio collection appearance?
