Manage videos in the library

This feature requires a Pro, Business, Premium, Standard, Advanced, or Enterprise membership.

The Library is where you can see, search, and manage all your videos. Only you and the team members you’ve allowed to manage your videos have access to the videos in your Library.

Browse your Library

Go to the Library or My Videos to manage videos from the home page. You’ll be taken to a page where you can see all the videos you've created or uploaded to your account, both public and private and any live events you might have. 

Team members with Contributor, Contributor Plus (enterprise only) Admin, and Owner roles have their workspace on the team account, a private folder called My Videos that other team members, including the team owner, cannot access. Viewer and Uploader team members will not see this folder when they join a team. When a Viewer or below is upgraded to Contributor or above, they will see the folder on their right-side navigation panel. Content privacy settings in My Videos respect the account owner’s default video settings. The folder cannot be deleted or renamed and ensures a Contributor always has a place to save their content (upload, create, record, and save content).

Use the search bar at the top right of the page to find videos on your account or across Vimeo by searching for relevant words or phrases. See How to search your Libary for more information.

If you're part of a team, you can view team videos that you have access to by opening the account menu in the upper right corner of the page and then selecting the Team from the Team Switcher in the dropdown.

This will filter out any videos that aren’t from that team in your Library.

Use the sort options on the top of the page to arrange your videos by title or the date the video was modified or added. You can also toggle between grid and list view using the icon at the top right above the first row of your videos.

Perform bulk actions

You can perform bulk actions on videos in your Library or from search results in your Library. To select a video, check the box on the left side of its thumbnail/row (depending on if you are in grid-view or list-view).

Once you start selecting videos, the following bulk action options will appear:

  • Add to collections: Add up to 100 selected videos to any of your existing showcases, groups, channels, or portfolios.
  • Move: Move the up to 50 selected videos to a folder that you specify.
  • Privacy: Change privacy settings for up to 50 videos at a time. You can select Link privacy or Embed privacy as required. Note that Vimeo Stock clips and Vimeo On Demand videos must remain private.
  • Delete: Permanently delete up to 100 selected videos from your account after entering your password (team members cannot perform this action).

Make changes to individual videos

If you want to make more granular changes to an individual video or review its file size, you can navigate to its settings from the Library by clicking the video’s thumbnail. Learn more at 'Video settings overview'. 

(Side note: if you want to edit the settings of all your videos at once, go to the Videos tab in your Account settings. After making changes to your Upload default, make sure to check the box next to “Also apply to all existing videos” before you save.) 

There are several additional icons that will allow you to perform actions associated with the video. In list mode, these icons will appear if you hover over the video. 

In grid mode, they’ll appear underneath the video thumbnail. 

A video shown in the library in grid mode. Under the thumbnail of the video, there are five icons. They are the same icons and actions as shown in 'list' view.

  • Review: This icon looks like a small speech bubble with a checkmark on it. Clicking it will lead you to the video’s review page. If you have a Basic or Plus account, this review page will only be a demo, and will not be shareable. Read more about review pages at 'Video review page'. 
  • Send file: This icon looks like paper with an arrow in it pointing upward and to the right. It will take you to the video’s download page, which you can share with others. If downloads aren’t enabled for the video, you’ll be asked to enable them if you want to use this feature.
  • Publish to social: This icon looks like two parallel lines with arrows at either end. It will allow you to publish the video to your connected social accounts. Visit 'Publish to social' to learn more.   

Additional features in your Library

There are other features you can access from the Videos tab as well. Just click the ellipses (...) icon to open the additional menu. These features include: 

  • Analytics: Clicking on the small graph icon will take you to the analytics panel, showing you data for this particular video from the past 30 days. Learn more at 'Vimeo: Analytics'. 
  • Embed icon: The < / > icon will take you to the embed settings page. 
  • Replace video: Clicking this will take you to the Collaboration tab in your video’s settings, where you’ll be able to replace the current file with another file. The versions can be compared in the review page.  
  • Download: Clicking this will open up a modal where you can download all the different available versions of your video. This is not shareable.
