Four months ago, we set out to make Vimeo a more valuable platform for you. 50 improvements and 100 bug fixes later, here are all the changes you can now benefit from.
Vimeo is up to 1.7x faster*
Uploading a video: 25% faster*
Videos uploading used to queue in single file. Now, they process simultaneously, and each one appears in your library as soon as it's ready.
Loading the homepage: 41% faster*
Previously, Vimeo loaded everything on a page at once, regardless of importance. Now, the content you came to see loads first, everything else runs after.
Searching in a folder: 23% faster*
For large libraries, the old search was scanning everything on every query. So we rebuilt it to pull from a smaller, purpose-built database instead. That means you get better results, faster.
Taken together: Vimeo is now up to 1.7x faster across the board.* And this is only the beginning—expect Vimeo to get even faster soon.
A new, simplified Vimeo Review
Leave feedback without an account
Anyone with your link can comment, whether they have a Vimeo account or not—no sign-up, no friction.
Fast, flexible commenting
Comments now have timestamps, emoji reactions, and clickable links. (And they load faster).
Easier review link setup
With default settings, auto-naming, and a simplified link management flows, creating and managing review links now feels effortless—even with multiple links.
Your profile page, rebuilt from scratch
You control your videos’ order
Previously, a new upload wouldn’t follow your sort order and you'd have to manually fix it. Now, uploads slot in automatically.
More of your work gets seen
We changed the grid from 2 videos per row to 3 to show more of your work on first load. You also have looping thumbnails so people can get a quick preview.
Simple, high-impact customization
Dark mode for viewers. Smoother section management. Make powerful changes to your profile, without design expertise.
A refreshed design
Cleaner layout, refreshed typography, and visual hierarchy that keeps your videos front and center.
A faster Library experience
Smart video uploading
Drag and drop a new video onto your homepage—or directly into a library folder. While it's uploading, you can start adjusting settings. And see its file size. And reach its management page directly. (It also uploads faster).
New privacy options
Overlays on video thumbnails now show you their privacy at a glance. Click the overlay to edit privacy directly, without opening the video page.
For Enterprise users, we also added an ‘Anyone at my company’ privacy setting, for easy internal sharing.
Simplified Showcase management
Add content in fewer steps
Add videos to a showcase straight from the ••• menu, like adding them to a folder. Turn a whole folder into a showcase with one click.
Duplicate and search
Duplicate any showcase from the ••• menu for easier iterations. Search for a specific showcase directly—no need to scroll your showcases every time.
Translate faster, in more languages
From 7 languages to 99
Previously, you had auto-captions for 7 languages. For translation, you had 37. You now have 99 for both.
Translate in bulk
Translation used to be video by video. Now you can bulk select videos—or use the Translate folder option—to translate whole libraries in one go.
100 bug fixes across Vimeo
Alongside all these improvements, we've quietly fixed more than 100 bugs across all the parts of Vimeo you use most.
It's not the most glamorous part, but above any new feature, creating a smooth, reliable platform for you is always our number one priority.
What's next in 2026?
While we’re excited about what we’ve done so far, our work improving Vimeo is far from done. Next on our list? A recently deleted section for your videos, to take the anxiety out of managing your library.
