What are the privacy settings available for my videos on Vimeo?

Asked 5 months ago
Vimeo offers a variety of privacy settings to help users control who can view their videos. These settings allow creators to tailor the accessibility of their content according to their specific needs. One of the primary options is the ability to make videos public, private, or unlisted. A public video can be viewed by anyone, while a private video can only be seen by selected individuals. Unlisted videos are not searchable and can only be accessed via a direct link. Additionally, Vimeo provides more granular control through settings such as password protection, which allows creators to set a password for viewing their videos. This ensures that only those who possess the password can access the content. Furthermore, users can restrict video playback to specific domains, which is particularly useful for creators who want to limit where their videos can be embedded and viewed. Another important feature is the ability to control who can comment on videos and whether or not to allow downloads. This level of control enables creators to manage their audience effectively and protect their content while still sharing it within their intended environment. For the most up-to-date information and detailed explanations of each privacy feature, users are encouraged to explore the privacy section on the Vimeo website.
