Vimeo respects your videos and your right to decide who watches them. Privacy options allow you to upload videos and choose who can see them. To access the privacy settings of your video, click Settings under your video on the video page, then click the Privacy tab.

You can select from the following privacy options to determine who can see your video:

• Anyone - Allow anyone to see this video.
• Only me - Make this video visible to me and no one else
• Only people I follow - Make my videos visible only to people I follow on Vimeo
• Only people I choose - I'll select people with whom I want to share this video (Note: this setting will only work for sharing with other Vimeo members)
• Only people with a password Protect this video with a password (Note: you can share password protected videos with non-Vimeo members)
• Hide this video from Vimeo.com (Plus + PRO only) - I want to post this video on the web but don't want it to be available on Vimeo.com. (This will hide your video on Vimeo.com and remove it from public Albums, Channels, and Groups.)

You can select from the following privacy options for video embedding:

• Anywhere - Enable people to embed this video on any site
• Nowhere - Do not allow anyone to embed this video
• Only on sites I choose (Plus + PRO only) - I'll specify sites on which people can embed this video

You can select from the following privacy options to determine who can comment on your video:

• Anyone – Allow anyone to leave comments on this video
• No one – Do not allow anyone to comment on this video
• Only people I follow – I want only people I follow to be able to leave comments

PRO members can also create Video Review Pages, which are semi-private, unlisted video pages intended for sharing with clients, collaborators, or anyone else you want to share your video with. These pages are unbranded and accept anonymous comments, so even people who don’t have Vimeo accounts can leave feedback. Video Review Pages are automatically created whenever you upload a video, and can be accessed via a link under the video on your video page and in the video settings under the Privacy tab.

Of course! To access the Privacy Settings of your video, go to the video page and click Settings below the video player. Then head to the Privacy tab, make your desired changes, and save.

You can also change the privacy settings on all your videos at once in your Global Video Settings.

Global Video Settings allow you to apply privacy preferences to all of your existing videos and set preferences for future uploads. Go to your Profile and click Settings. From there, go to the Videos tab and make your choices! Then click Save as default. Check the box next to "Also, apply to existing videos" to do just that.

If you don't want your videos to be downloaded by others, head to your Video Settings page, then click the Privacy tab. From there, uncheck the box next to “Download the video” and save.

To avoid having people use your video without your knowledge, we recommend that you disable downloading. You can find instructions for disabling downloads here.

No, private videos will not show up in search results on Vimeo or in other search engine results.

Absolutely! If you’d like to embed your video on an outside website, but hide it from Vimeo.com, head to the video page and click Settings below the video player.

From there, click over to the Privacy tab. In the “Who can watch this video?” section, select “Hide this video from Vimeo.com” and save. It’s that easy!

It is when you’ve got a Vimeo Plus or PRO membership! With domain-level privacy, you can specify the websites that are permitted to embed your video. Any sites that are not on your list will receive an error message when they attempt to embed it. Take that, unauthorized sites!

To set it up domain-level privacy, head to video page and click Settings below the video player. From there, click over to the Privacy tab. In the “Where can this video be embedded?” section, select “Only on sites I choose,” then add the domain names for the sites where you'd like your video to be embedded. Don’t forget to save your changes!

You need to be careful adding private videos to collections, because the privacy settings of Channels, Groups, and Portfolios will always override the privacy settings for your individual video.

For example, a private video added to a public Channel will be accessible to anyone who views that Channel. A private video added to a password-protected Portfolio will be accessible to anyone with the Portfolio password.

To add or remove your video from one of these collections, go to your video page and either check or uncheck the box in the Collections menu underneath the player.
