Relationship to google? You can access videos of vimeo via video.google.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.135.67.127 ( talk) 04:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
== Technology == Vimeo uses the [[Amazon S3]] service to store the video content and the [[Amazon_Elastic_Compute_Cloud|Amazon EC2]] to convert the uploaded videos into [[Adobe_Flash|Flash]] movies for the embedded player. Users have the ability to download their originally uploaded videos directly from [[Amazon_S3|S3]].
I removed this as the Vimeo blog states that they use thier own servers for hosting and encoding, with no mention of S3 or EC2. The above needs referencing before being put back into the article. Dan100 ( Talk) 11:38, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I feel the Polemics section is negatively biased and while many popular websites have "sketchy" terms of service, no other article show this section. I suggest it be removed -- Ncusa367 ( talk) 21:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Regarding the current edit war about the TOS, it clearly states that (emphasis added):
So, 84.99.199.172 ( talk · contribs), please stop pushing for your POV on the issue. -- ZimZalaBim talk 20:03, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
it means it's important for someone that read the article that vimeo does not authorize upload of video games video, but it's not important to know that when you upload a video, you give to vimeo so much more than your video ? it makes no sense to me.
and when vimeo state that the lincense granted shall terminate within a commercially reasonable time , reasonable means nothing. someone could argue that 20 years is reasonable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.99.199.172 ( talk) 20:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
I found a source for the un-cited "10% in HD"

Vimeo is more similar to YouTube than Facebook or MySpace. We refer to the former as a "video-sharing website" and the latter as "social networking" websites, and I plan to change the lead sentence if there are no objections otherwise. -- Jamiew ( talk) 17:56, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
"On October 9, 2007, Vimeo announced support for High Definition playback in 1280x720 (720p), becoming the first video sharing site to support consumer HD." I'm pretty sure Stage6 allowed 1080p HD in 2006, which is why the site was so mind blowing for its day Hammerfrog ( talk) 08:21, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Vimeo is banned only for 2 days in Turkey. It is available now. -- Heamsi ( talk) 01:17, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Is Vimeo still banned in China? Unlike Youtube which seems always to be banned, the situation regarding Vimeo seems to vary DigHK ( talk) 20:51, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
Vimeo is available in (at least)Shenyang and Dalian(I haven't tried in other cities).-- Kaileeslight ( talk) 13:41, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Talking about Vimeo being banned in Indonesia, the article says, "The ban came at a moment when films made in Indonesia had begun to attract attention on the world stage, with Joshua Oppenheimer’s The Act of Killing joining the ranks of the most acclaimed documentaries of all time."
What's the relevance of that statement to Vimeo being banned? I'm sure that many other things happened in the world--and in Indonesia--at that time; why is this one significant? Is the statement meant (as I suspect) to raise some sort of irony? To get the readers to think the "right" way about the ban? If so, I don't think it belongs in Wikipedia.

"As 22 July 22, 2010, the site offers unlimited HD embeds.[21]" appears to be a typo. Should it be "As of July 22, 2010, the site offers unlimited HD embeds.[21]"? Espensj ( talk) 05:43, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
"In July 2006, Vimeo Plus launched for $44.95/year. It featured 250 MB of disk space weekly."
I don't know where this information was sourced from but it is incorrect. I have worked at Vimeo for 9 years starting in 2007 and there were no paid membership packages at all at that time. The first offering of a paid membership (Vimeo Plus) wasn't until October of 2008. https://vimeo.com/blog/post/presenting-vimeo-plus — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sockyunghong ( talk • contribs) 23:30, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello, my name is Jordan and I work for Vimeo. I'm here on the company's behalf to submit requests for improving the Wikipedia article, which is quite outdated and has bad sources used throughout. Per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, I will share requests here instead of updating the page myself. Thanks to editors in advance for any help. First, I'd like to request removal of the following sentences in the "History" section, which are sourced by Vimeo's blog/website and TourKick.
References
I also suggest removing the "Early history" and "Recent history" headings. The section is not very long and this separation seems unnecessary. If editors think some organization is helpful, would a subsection called "Acquisitions" be more appropriate? If so, could someone group these claims together?
There are many other ways to improve sourcing in the current page, but my hope is to keep my first request simple and not to seek too much change at once. I welcome feedback and questions here or my talk page. Thank you! JS Vimeo ( talk) 18:31, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
I noticed there's mention of Vimeo Enterprise and Vimeo Stock, but not a few of the company's other products. Here are some additional sources to consider when making further improvements:
@ Masem: Would you be interested in incorporating these sources into the article as well? I appreciate editors want to avoid promotional content as much as possible. I understand if you prefer to update the page yourself, but I'm also willing to draft some text based on these sources if you'd prefer. I believe all the sources are acceptable from a Wikipedia perspective. If you've already used some of them, sorry, I am still reviewing the article in detail and I'm just trying to be helpful.
Also, do you think a separate section specifically focused on offerings (or products) would be helpful? Thanks for your continued assistance. JS Vimeo ( talk) 16:52, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
For my next request, I propose adding a brief mention of the annual Vimeo Festival + Awards and Staff Picks:
I consider these claims brief and neutral, based on reputable journalistic publications. Thanks! JS Vimeo ( talk) 23:54, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

@ Masem: Thanks again for your help above. I was hoping you might be able to update some numbers in the "Customer size" section. This IAC source confirms 1.3 million paid subscribers and this New York Times article confirms we're now at 175 million members. Thank you! JS Vimeo ( talk) 17:24, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
@ Masem: Thanks again for your previous help. I am back with a couple additional requests, if you're willing to review.
1. First, I'm wondering if the page can mention Vimeo OTT, which is one of Vimeo's Enterprise-level services:
I'm open to your preferred wording, and I imagine there are other sources you could use as well. Also, would you please consider adding mention of the company's enterprise offering to the opening paragraph, since enterprise customers are the fastest-growing segment?
2. In Vimeo#Legal_cases, I'm hoping you can add Vimeo's response to the Biometric lawsuit: "Determining whether an area represents a human face or a volleyball does not equate to 'facial recognition,' and Magisto neither collects nor retains any facial information capable of recognizing an individual.", per this source.
Thanks again for your assistance! JS Vimeo ( talk) 15:09, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello, this is Jordan. I'm back on behalf of Vimeo to submit requests for improving the Wikipedia article. I will continue to post requests here instead of making any updates myself, per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Thank you, editors, for your help.
I'd like to propose the following change and addition to the first paragraph in the "Introduction" section, in order to more accurately reflect Vimeo's operations.
The first is to change the description of Vimeo as an "American video hosting... platform" to "global video hosting, sharing, and services platform." "American" implies that our services are only available in the U.S. "Global" is a more accurate description of where we operate, so this change is inline with making Wikipedia as accurate as possible.
Second, I'd like to suggest adding "businesses and" to the second sentence of the introductory paragraph so it reads "Vimeo operates on an ad-free basis, and instead derives revenue by providing subscription plans for businesses and video content producers and offering..." This updated description adds clarity to the article about Vimeo's operations.
I've provided sourcing below that I believe supports these changes.

User:Masem, since you've assisted with previous edits to the Vimeo article, I was hoping you might be willing to review this request as well. I'm happy to respond to feedback and questions here or on my Talk page. Thank you! JS Vimeo ( talk) 20:41, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

I see that some info in our company infobox is out of date. I also noticed that the infobox template currently in use is the defunct dot-com company template, which has been redirected to the website infobox template. I'd like to propose that the template be updated to the website template, as it provides a thorough set of details to article visitors.
I've used our current infobox as a resource for this update, but there are several changes, which I wanted to call out to make sure editors have a chance to consider them individually.
1. Type of business has been updated to "Software as a Service". This is reflective of the article body and more accurate than the current infobox, which lists Vimeo as a "Subsidiary of IAC" in this field.
2. Products includes Vimeo Record, which launched recently and is not currently mentioned in the Wikipedia article. Here is a TechCrunch article that covered the launch. I understand that editors may decide to include this or not.
3. Users is 200 million. This Barron's article provides more up to date information from the current number cited in customer size.
4. VHX has been added to subsidiaries to increase this field's accuracy.

There are a few spots in these sections that I think would benefit from some updates and clarification. Please see my requests below.

As always, I welcome feedback and trust editors to make appropriate changes.

Hello! I was looking at the introduction and wondering if it would make sense to rewrite it to be clearer, and clean up the run-on sentence? As of this post, the first sentence reads:
"Vimeo ( /ˈvɪmioʊ/ [1]) is an American video hosting, sharing, and services platform headquartered in New York City. Vimeo operates on an ad-free basis, and instead derives revenue by providing subscription plans for businesses and video content producers and offering software as a service (SaaS) with video creation, editing, and broadcasting tools, enterprise software solutions, as well as the means for video professionals to connect with clients and other professionals."
I think readers would have an easier time understanding if it read something like the following:
"Vimeo ( /ˈvɪmioʊ/ [2]) is a video hosting, sharing, and services platform headquartered in New York City. Vimeo's business model is software as a service (SaaS). The company derives revenue from subscription plans for Businesses and creative professionals. Vimeo's tools can be used for: creation, communications, collaboration and broadcasting. The company also offers enterprise software solutions, and the means for video professionals to connect with clients and other professionals."
I am open to editors' thoughts, and understand if you decide it's best left as is, or choose to make changes that are not exactly what I've proposed above.
Thanks! JS Vimeo ( talk) 18:18, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello, Jordan here with a couple small requests for the article.
Masem, thank you for the changes you made to the introduction back in February. If you're still available to collaborate, I'd love to hear your feedback here.
As always, I defer to what editors think is most appropriate for the article, and appreciate all of the continuing help so that I can adhere to the rules for conflict of interest editors.
Thank you! JS Vimeo ( talk) 18:47, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello Masem, thanks for your recent updates about the Vimeo spin-off! I was wondering if you think any of the integrations mentioned in this Tubefilter article should be added? I think that mention of Mailchimp, HubSpot, and Constant Contact could fit in History as part of the company's narrative of moving further into SaaS, or Product offerings and revenue structure. Any thoughts or feedback is welcome. Thanks! JS Vimeo ( talk) 17:56, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm back with a new request for this article.
Masem, if you're available for a bit more collaboration, I always appreciate your help.
Thanks for the help! JS Vimeo ( talk) 16:49, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
When did Vimeo implement support for 60fps high-frame-rate video (for smoother appearance)? I have a vague memory of a mention I saw years ago of it having been 2009 (i.e. half a decade earlier than YouTube), but I currently can not find that source, and perhaps I don't remember accurately. I could also not find any news articles about other dates. For clarification, I am not asking for myself, but because it could be mentioned in the article. 79.249.145.136 ( talk) 04:05, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Someone might wanna add the big shift of vimeo described in this news article:
https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/15/22979126/vimeo-patreon-creators-price-increase
I would have done so in the past but I'm too burned from some editors here on Wikipedia that I won't do effort which will get deleted soon anyway. But I also thought it might be noteworthy
GavriilaDmitriev ( talk • they/them) 16:25, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
This section ("influence in other countries" seems like an odd title to me) would be good to keep up to date. It just mentions some dates when the site was blocked where but in some cases it was years ago, and the list China, India, Turkey, Indonesia seems quite incomplete to me. How about a map?
