About Vimeo

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in New York City, Vimeo began as an online video service. It is known for professional video hosting and sharing, including an ad-free player, privacy and embedding controls, and tools for video review and collaboration.

Vimeo.com, Inc. is the entity named in Vimeo’s Terms of Service, and Vimeo, Inc. is its parent operating company. Bending Spoons S.p.A. completed its acquisition of Vimeo through its wholly owned subsidiary Bending Spoons US Inc. in 2025.

Vimeo’s products

Video hosting and management

Host and play videos, organise them in a searchable library, control access, embed them on other sites, and use collaboration, review and analytics features. This suits creators and organisations managing video for their own audiences.

Video creation and editing

Browser-based editing and creation tools include screen and camera recording, templates, stock media and AI-supported features. They are designed for making and preparing video without relying solely on a separate editing workflow.

Live streaming and webinars

Vimeo offers tools for live broadcasts, virtual events and webinars, for organisations that need to present video to an audience in real time.

Vimeo Streaming and OTT

These services help customers launch branded streaming websites and apps, manage a video library, and distribute or monetise content.

Enterprise video

Business and enterprise tools cover internal video libraries, communications, collaboration, security and compliance needs.

Infrastructure and support

Vimeo says its services use servers and databases in the United States and other countries. Its Enterprise hosting information describes infrastructure primarily on Google Cloud Platform in the United States, with EU data-residency options. Specific data-centre cities are not confirmed.

Vimeo says written support is available around the clock through a contact form and chatbot. Messaging and live-event support vary by plan; phone support is for Enterprise customers, with hours and response targets depending on the support package.

Who Vimeo suits

Vimeo is relevant to creators, teams and businesses that need managed video hosting, privacy controls, collaboration, or tools for live and branded streaming. It may be less suitable if your main aim is general-purpose web hosting, or if you depend on broad social-platform discovery rather than sharing video through your own channels.
