Vimeo

Watch, make and share video

Vimeo is an entertainment app for watching videos and for people who create or manage them. You can browse videos and creators, follow accounts, and stream in HD without ads. If you make videos, the app also supports uploading, recording your screen, trimming clips and sharing them. It may suit independent creators, teams sharing training material, and viewers looking for curated videos rather than a general social feed.

Tools for creators and teams

Vimeo includes live streaming and options for sharing videos privately, such as password-protected access or private links. Its creation tools include a teleprompter and script generation, along with editing that can remove pauses and filler words. Teams can use it to manage video libraries and permissions. These tools may be more than you need if you only want to watch videos; consider whether you will use them before adding another account and app to your phone.

What to consider

Some viewing options include saving videos for offline playback and casting to a larger screen. Availability can vary by region. The listing does not spell out which features require an account or which are available to every user, so check those details if a particular tool matters to you. As with any app that handles uploads or private sharing, think about which videos you choose to store and who can access them.

Who is behind it?

The developer is Vimeo.com, Inc. The app is listed in Entertainment and has 10,000,000+ installs. Its rating is 3.37 out of 5 from 140,172 ratings: a mixed score from a substantial number of reviewers, rather than a guarantee of how it will work for you. If you are unsure, start with the features you actually want—watching, creating, or team video management—and decide whether Vimeo fills a gap that you have.
