What’s new at Vimeo in May: Monetize like a pro, translate your videos with AI, and so much more
Spring is in full bloom here at Vimeo ’s NYC headquarters, and with it comes a whole bouquet of new features! We’ve been busy building tools to make your videos more engaging, your workflows smoother, and your monetization strategy more effective. Check out what we've been up to:
Turn video streams into revenue streams
Problem: Want to grow and monetize your audience, but lack the skills, resources, or money to build your own platform?
Solution: Vimeo Streaming is your one-stop-shop to launching your own branded streaming service and apps.
Why it's important: Vimeo makes it simple to monetize your content and grow your audience.
Available on: Select Enterprise plans
Translate your videos with AI, then go back and refine your subtitles with a human touch
Problem: Localizing video content to reach your audiences in their preferred language is tough — it can be costly, time-consuming, and hard to manage.
Solution: With Vimeo, quickly translate your videos in up to 36 languages with AI, then add the human touch by editing the subtitles yourself — all within one embeddable link. You can even add custom vocabulary so the transcript will get names, brands, and technical terms right, every time.
Why it's important: Help get more reach, more views, and more engagement. Plus, you can rest assured that your data is your own; Vimeo never trains generative AI models using your content, even on our Free plan.
Available on: Starter/Plus plans and above
Customize how your videos look on Vimeo and in player when you embed
Problem: You want more control over how your video is presented, whether your audience is viewing on Vimeo or through an embedded link.
Solution: You can now customize how your videos look based on where viewers see them. For example, users can set colors, hide buttons, and even show Likes-count on Vimeo, but hide them wherever your video is embedded if you’d prefer.
Why it's important: This update gives you more flexibility and oversight for publishing your videos.
Available on: Starter/Plus plans and above
Now there’s a simpler way to search for videos on Vimeo
Problem: We get it — finding the videos you’re looking for on Vimeo wasn’t always the best experience.
Solution: We’ve made the process easier with the ability to quickly toggle search results between all videos on Vimeo or videos within your own library.
Why it's important: Find the videos you need, faster and easier.
Available on: Free plans and above
Dive deeper into your data with updated analytics features
Problem: Getting the data you need can be a hassle.
Solution: We've refreshed our analytics features to give you a clearer, more comprehensive view of your audience engagement.
Why it's important: Understanding your audience is crucial for optimizing your video strategy and maximizing your impact. These updates make it easier to get the insights you need to make informed decisions.
Make your video creation workflow easier than ever before with Adobe Express and Vimeo
Problem: Switching between editing apps is tedious and disruptive.
Solution: Users can now directly access and upload Vimeo videos within Adobe Express.
Why it's important: Streamline your creative workflow and unlock advanced video editing tools. Because who has time to waste on tedious tasks? Not you, that's for sure.
Available on: Free plans and above
Track video analytics with LMS Integrations
Problem: Getting all of the data you need in one place isn’t easy, whether you're tracking learner progress or employee training.
Solution: Vimeo now seamlessly integrates with platforms like Canvas, Blackboard, TalentLMS, Docebo, and more to send video completion data and results to your LMS, syncing it all in one place. We speak fluent SCORM, xAPI, AICC, and Cmi5, so you don't have to.
Why it's important: Analytics are critical when measuring learner retention, progress, and participation. No more guess work or tedious mapping.
Available on: Select Enterprise plans
Secure your videos from theft with Digital Rights Management (DRM)
Problem: Videos are commonly stolen and shared without consent, putting content and proprietary information at risk.
Solution: Use industry-standard content protection to prevent unauthorized sharing and piracy by blocking downloads and screen recordings.
Why it's important: Your content is valuable, keep it that way.
Available on: Select Enterprise plans
Restrict your content wherever necessary with geo-blocking
Problem: Regional content licensing agreements are complicated and vary heavily by region.
Solution: We’ve made it easier for you to restrict video content and live event access by location, or set aspects like content rating, with geo-blocking.
Why it's important: Navigating the geo-restrictions and copyright laws involved in running a streaming service requires a lot of careful planning.
Available on: Select Enterprise plans
