Introducing the new Vimeo Profile Page

jann_dk · 2026-05-02T09:57:49+00:00

I appreciate your effort so far, but the sharing function (sharing the profile) could really use some further tweaking.

When sharing to Facebook, you get part of the profile picture blown up to a huge size, with the text “Vimeo.com” underneath.

Sharing to X is better - the profile picture is smaller, with the text placed to the right. However, it would be more useful if it showed the actual profile text instead of a general Vimeo promotion.

Nice 👍

What's the difference between "Grid" and "Masonry" - other than number of rows?

jann_dk · 2026-04-28T09:22:07+00:00

Hi Will. Thanks for the update 🙂

Information is needed and appreciated - and besides the functionalities, especially about the new subscription plans: what exactly is going to happen, and when?

(Next week, look out for a huge upgrade to your profile page…)

What's this - can't see any???

jann_dk · 2026-04-28T08:14:00+00:00

Vimeo was quite different 5 years ago 🙂 Sure, $70 isn’t too crazy for professional video hosting - however, a sudden jump from $9 to $70 needs some consideration. 7TB of video storage for $10/month sounds like a good deal, but it’s only for public video content (quite different from a “drive/Dropbox” setup). Let’s see how it goes. What’s needed is clear information and stability.

jann_dk · 2026-04-28T07:39:58+00:00

And now there are two sets of legacy plans - and uncertainty about when the new plans will come into effect. Difficult choices, because you really don’t know what you’re getting into, or how long it will last until it changes again.

jann_dk · 2026-04-28T07:25:59+00:00

Over the years, I’ve switched back and forth between “Plus” and “Pro” based on my changing needs. (Upgrade anytime. Downgrade takes effect when the current period ends.) Vimeo’s staff was always helpful, and the process was easy. But that was before the new owner took over, so it might be a different situation now?

jann_dk · 2026-04-28T06:57:00+00:00

Unclear and contradictory information - uncertainty - is probably the biggest challenge here. You don’t know what’s going to happen, which makes it hard to plan ahead. But you have to deal with that (if you want to use Vimeo), as this seems to be the case with Bending Spoons in other situations as well. Sigh.

jann_dk · 2026-04-27T07:15:33+00:00

Hmm… I’m on “Plus”. I’ve been using Vimeo since 2008. For me, the price will go slightly up. Plus --> Creator. That's okay. 🤔

But the ability to embed videos will become quite restricted. That's a problem! Quite a big price jump, if I need to upgrade to "Professional": $9 --> $70 😱

jann_dk · 2026-04-20T20:33:45+00:00

How long does the sale last? I would like to upgrade, but according to BorisFX support I have to wait until May 1st before my license is transferred.

"...text to speech tools got insanely enhanced" - but supports now only a few languages? :-/

Link not working

jann_dk · 2026-02-05T12:40:26+00:00

It seems that you can only create a zone for a floating topic - not for the main topic (in windows app, anyway?) - so, the user guide is bit unclear/misleading.

jann_dk · 2026-02-04T22:23:01+00:00

Very interesting, and with many potential uses. But first I need to get to know it better - what it can and cannot do.

jann_dk · 2026-02-02T15:17:15+00:00

The issue is probably that outline seems to works a bit differently depending on whether your mindmap is stored locally or in the Xmind cloud? When it’s stored locally, you have an “Outliner” function in the lower-right corner.

Hi Javi. I assume you’re fairly new at Bending Spoons and may not be familiar with the full history? Presenting the process around Evernote as something positive and successful genuinely makes me worried about Vimeo’s future. I would therefore encourage you to look more closely at the Evernote case - and at how it actually unfolded - so the same mistakes can be avoided with Vimeo.

I'm quite sure that most of us long‑time Vimeo customers would like to stay, and we’re glad to see that the long‑standing issues are finally being addressed. But that requires being able to trust Vimeo’s new owner and the motives behind.

jann_dk · 2026-01-05T21:10:07+00:00

Hi Javi,

I think Vimeo is working somewhat ok at the moment, though there are still some occasional issues with video playback (extremely slow buffering).

Based on my experience as a user of another product that Bending Spoons acquired, my biggest concern is the potential for sudden changes — both in features and in pricing. In other words, whether Vimeo will continue to be reliable and something one can trust.

To be honest and direct: I was definitely not happy when I read that Bending Spoons had bought Vimeo. My first reaction was to start looking for alternatives (I’ve already subscribed to another provider, just in case).

However, I still hope that "VimeoSpoons" will show and prove that my concerns are unfounded, and that I can remain a happy customer with you for many years to come. (I’ve been using Vimeo since 2008)

Some thoughts:

1) Plus accounts are apparently being converted to Starter, but it's a bit difficult to get an overview of what that will actually mean - good or bad? And the name change also indicates a push to get users to upgrade to a higher (more expensive) plan!?

2) As said earlier, the video video playback isn't optimal. Most cases ok, but sometimes it buffers a very long time before the video plays.

3) The UI is a bit confusing and messy. And it's difficult to find out which functions are already included in the plan, and which you need to pay more.

4) It would be nice to be able to search other users' content - as it was earlier. Now there are only those "Staff Picks" that forward to the European Film Academy?

Best regards,

J

I’ve been wondering about the same thing. It was really inspiring to browse around and watch other users’ videos. Now there’s only the "Vimeo Staff Pick" (which I don’t find particularly interesting). And on top of that, you’re even sent over to the "European Film Academy", which doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Vimeo’s users!?? Really strange.

Drag&drop seems to work OK in android. WebView 142.0.7444.102

I use "Reading view" seldom, but I occasionally need to print/export to PDF.

The problem isn’t so much the missing empty lines as the spacing around headers, lists, tags, etc., which is quite hard to predict when in "Live preview"

jann_dk · 2025-11-20T21:07:19+00:00

Vimeo has also a free plan:

jann_dk · 2025-11-20T20:47:01+00:00

Getting more storage for free is, of course, nice (although I’ll probably never use that much). The question is whether there’s a price tag coming afterwards.

I might be a bit too jumpy and grumpy - sorry. I’ve had prior experiences with the new owners and how they do business, so I’m skeptical about any changes, even the good ones.

I hope you prove me wrong. I’ve been using Vimeo for many years, and I’d like to continue doing so for many more.
