Can I block other members on Vimeo?

Absolutely. Connecting with people can be one of the best parts of the Vimeo experience; but we feel it’s good to have control over your connections.

Please note that you can block only logged-in members of Vimeo. People who are not logged in cannot be blocked.

How do I block someone on Vimeo?

To block a member, log in to your account, hover your mouse over Me in the top navigation bar, then click My Settings. On your Settings page, click the Advanced tab and find the “Blocked Members” section. Click Block a member and enter a member’s user ID or profile page URL. Then click Block member. We have one of the best defensive lines in the league, so you're in good hands.

When you are done eliminating people from your online life, save your changes!

What happens when I block a member?

When you block someone on Vimeo, that member loses the ability to:
  • Follow you on Vimeo
  • Like your videos
  • Comment on your videos
  • Add your videos to their Albums, Channels, or Groups
  • Send you messages
  • Share your videos (when logged in to Vimeo)
In addition, blocking someone will:
  • Delete their likes and comments from your videos
  • Remove your videos from their Albums, Channels, and Groups
  • Unsubscribe them from your Channels and delete their shouts
  • Remove them and any forum topics they have created from Groups you created or moderate
Finally, when you block someone, you automatically unfollow them and they automatically unfollow you (if applicable). Please note that blocked members will still be able to view your profile page and watch your videos — they just can’t interact with them.

Do I have any options besides blocking?

In addition to blocking a member, you can unfollow a member (which automatically happens if you block someone), or flag a member’s video if you feel its content is not appropriate for Vimeo.

Will a member be notified if I block them?

No. Members are not notified when they are blocked. However, they may find out they are blocked if they can’t follow you, send you messages, or try to perform the actions available to them before they were blocked.

Can I unblock someone?

Yes. If you change your mind and forgive someone for their grave offense, go to your blocked members list and click Unblock next to the member’s user ID or profile page URL.

Is there any way that I can find out if I’ve been blocked by someone?

There is no official way to find out if you have been blocked by another member. But if you notice that you are no longer following a member, or you can't perform actions that were previously available to you, you may have been blocked.
