We have used Vimeo for some corporate clients' customer facing websites.
This is because Vimeo's embed offers:
1) No recommendations at the end
2) Customisable player controls
3) Control over where it can be embedded, etc
4) No ads
The downside is that they don't have much transparency over TOS / content policy removals. We had a random violation in one instance where the uploader recorded a screencast of something. Our best guess is that the system flagged it because the screens showed a UI with a user's profile and some dummy information which was likely understood to be real private information.
- ryanSrich 5y agoWe've been using Wistia for 2 years for our business that serves Security Awareness Training content directly in Slack. It works perfectly fine. The pricing isn't that bad either. It seems like Vimeo is going after this type of market. Which is totally fine. I think the biggest issue with the current situation is just how little notice Vimeo gave the client in question. 90 days is a pretty standard price increase notice for B2B. They should have just done that.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 5y agoWait, so Vimeo removes videos of paying customers, and does not even tell you why/let you talk to a human about it to understand and appeal the decision? It's one thing when a free service does this, but a paid provider?!?
- neurostimulant 5y agoIf you just use vimeo for video embeds, you can upload the videos into cloudflare stream instead as it supports embedding. Interestingly, some schools block cloudflare stream though. Not sure if it's a common occurrence. > 3) Control over where it can be embedded, etc Is it still working now as most browsers are no longer sending referral domain on iframe requests?
