Changing the privacy settings of your videos

Enabling domain-level privacy
With domain-level privacy, you can specify which websites 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.

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

Here are some examples of domains you can add:

• Main domain: mycoolsite.com
• Subdomains: subdomain.mycoolsite.com

Please note that URL paths will be truncated so mycoolsite.com/specificpage will become mycoolsite.com. Rest assured that with the main domain saved, your videos will only be embeddable there.

Basic members will need to upgrade to Vimeo Plus, PRO, Business, or Premium membership to unlock domain-level privacy.

Updating your video's privacy settings
To change the privacy settings of your video, go to the video page and click Settings below the video player. Then click on the General tab, Privacy section, make your desired changes, and hit "Save."

To change the privacy settings of all your existing videos and set preferences for future uploads, go to the Upload defaults tab under the Video tab in your Account Settings.

• If you want your new upload defaults to only apply to future uploads, simply hit the blue "Save" button after making your changes.
• If you want your new upload defaults to apply to all your videos, make sure to check the box next to "Also apply to existing videos" before hitting the blue “Save” button.

Removing the ability to download your videos
If you don't want your video to be downloaded by others, head to your Video Settings page, then click the General tab, Privacy section. From there, toggle off the option “People can download this video,” and save.

To remove the ability to download your videos from all your existing videos and/or future uploads, go to the Upload defaults tab under the Video tab in your Account Settings. Under the heading "What can people do with your videos?" uncheck the box "Download them."

• If you only want to remove the ability to download your videos from future uploads, simply hit the blue "Save" button.
• If you want to remove the ability to download your videos from all your videos, make sure to check the box next to "Also apply to existing videos" before hitting the blue “Save” button.

Please note: As the owner of the video, you will always see the download button on your video page.
