Related Topics
Highly Established
vimeo.com is a well-established platform operated by Vimeo, Inc.. Top 1,000 global website, 21 years old. Standard web safety practices apply.
Security Considerations
While vimeo.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
File Hosting
vimeo.com allows users to upload and share files. Any file you download was uploaded by another user—not the platform operator. Scan downloads with antivirus software and only download from sources you trust.
User-Generated Content
vimeo.com hosts content created by its users, not the platform operator. Individual posts, profiles, or pages may contain scams, misinformation, or phishing attempts that the platform hasn't yet detected or removed.
Custom Subdomains
vimeo.com allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.vimeo.com". An address like "paypal-secure.vimeo.com" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Vimeo, Inc..
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
