Vimeo has always been where your best work is shared. Now it’s also where your best work gets understood by AI, using transcripts that are discoverable and readable by artificial intelligence.

The easiest way to make your videos discoverable by AI, built right into Vimeo

Vimeo continues to block AI training bots to protect our creators’ videos, but allowing simple search-indexing bots to enhance discoverability of videos by ChatGPT and other AI chatbots can help improve your Large Language Model (LLM) strategy to reach a wider audience.

Our video player has AI-friendly embed codes, designed to make your video transcripts discoverable to AI tools. These new tools are built right into the same, ad-free platform you already use to host, manage, and share videos — so there’s no need for separate AI optimization software.

With your LLM-friendly video transcripts, you can:

  • Get your content seen by AI. Most video embeds are invisible to ChatGPT and other AI tools, but this is where Vimeo stands out. We bake your transcript right into the HTML so AI tools can see and understand your content.
  • Help AI users find your videos. Our embed code exposes the transcript to LLMs, making your content eligible for AI chatbot citations and mentions.
  • Optimize for the future of content. Stay ahead of the curve with LLM optimization, ensuring your videos are prepared for the evolving landscape of AI-driven content consumption

LLM-friendly embedding is available on all paid plans, and free users can also upload their own transcripts to take advantage of the benefits of AI-discoverable transcripts. This built-in, seamless optimization ensures you’re prepared for the evolving, AI-driven future of content. Start using LLM-friendly transcripts today and unlock a new level of discoverability for your best work.
