Vimeo focuses on the delivery of high-definition video across a range of devices and operates on a software as a service (SaaS) business model.{{efn|Vimeo ended support for Smart TV streaming however, in 2023.}} The platform provides tools for video creation, editing, and broadcasting along with enterprise software solutions and the means for video professionals to connect with clients and other professionals. {{As of|2021|12|post=,}} the site has 260 million users, with around 1.6 million subscribers to its services.<ref name=AR />
The site was initially built by Jake Lodwick and Zach Klein in 2004 as a skunkworks project of CollegeHumor, taking inspiration from the photo sharing site Flickr launched earlier that year by Ludicorp. The project was organized as a division of CollegeHumor's parent, Connected Ventures, a startup formed by Ricky Van Veen, Josh Abramson, Lodwick and Klein. IAC acquired a 51% controlling stake in Connected Ventures in August 2006 for {{USD|21 million}}. Following the acquisition of YouTube by Google less than three months later for over {{USD|1.65 billion}}, IAC directed more effort into Vimeo. Lodwick and Klein both departed by 2008 and IAC implemented a more corporate-focused structure to build out Vimeo's services. In May 2021, Vimeo became a standalone public company. However, in September 2025, Bending Spoons announced a $1.38 billion all-cash deal to take Vimeo private, which finalized in November.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Malik |first=Aisha |date=2025-09-10 |title=Vimeo to be acquired by Bending Spoons in $1.38B all-cash deal |url=https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/10/vimeo-to-be-acquired-by-bending-spoons-in-1-38b-all-cash-deal/ |access-date=2025-09-16 |website=TechCrunch |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name="8-K-acqclose">{{Cite web |url=https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1837686/000110465925115501/tm2532050d1_8k.htm |title=Form 8-K |date=November 24, 2025 |publisher=U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission}}</ref>

Around 2016, Vimeo had expressed its intentions to enter into the subscription video-on-demand market with its own original programming, with the intent of spending "tens of millions" on content to populate the service as to compete with services like Netflix.

In March 2022, Vimeo announced that it would begin limiting bandwidth to all users to 2 terabytes per month, a rate they estimate would affect only 1% of all its users. Just prior to this change, users of Vimeo had reported they had been approached to purchase higher tier accounts, but Vimeo apologized for this approach, and felt it was better to set the flat bandwidth rate. Going over this rate would not affect any videos the user had on the service, and they would work with users to offer tiered options or to help transition off Vimeo to other services if that was their choice.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/18/22985820/vimeo-bandwidth-policy-changes-2tb-cap | title = Vimeo is sorry, and here's how it's changing | first = Mitchell | last = Clark | date = March 18, 2022 | accessdate = March 18, 2022 | work = The Verge | archive-date = October 7, 2024 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20241007045858/https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/18/22985820/vimeo-bandwidth-policy-changes-2tb-cap | url-status = live }}</ref> In 2020 Vimeo also launched video chapters.

===Events=== Vimeo launched its Vimeo Festival and Awards program in 2010, and held subsequent events every eighteen months. The Festival allows video creators to submit their films for a small fee for consideration across multiple categories. Typically more than 5,000 videos are submitted, and these are narrowed to a field of 1,000 for select judge-panel to vote for winners across multiple categories. This culminates with a live awards presentation showing thewinning films in each category. Each category winner carries a cash prize and an overall best-in-show prize. Vimeo had established the Festival and Awards to help give video and filmmakers an opportunity to highlight their work on Vimeo's pages and gain potential work from clients.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Calling DIY Video Makers: Vimeo Festival + Awards Rides Again |magazine=Wired |date=December 13, 2011 |url=https://www.wired.com/2011/12/vimeo-festival-awards/ |access-date=May 20, 2020 |archive-date=September 24, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200924122716/https://www.wired.com/2011/12/vimeo-festival-awards/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=O'Neill |first1=Megan |title=Submissions Now Open For 2nd Vimeo Festival + Awards, $25,000 Grand Prize |url=https://www.adweek.com/digital/submissions-vimeo-festival-awards/ |access-date=May 20, 2020 |work=Adweek |date=December 13, 2011 |archive-date=August 4, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200804174508/https://www.adweek.com/digital/submissions-vimeo-festival-awards/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/Editorial/Featured-Articles/Which-Online-Video-Award-Is-Most-Important-86737.aspx | title = Which Online Video Award Is Most Important? | first = Tory | last = Dreier | date = December 14, 2012 | access-date = May 29, 2020 | work = StreamingMedia.com | archive-date = October 7, 2024 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20241007050552/https://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/Editorial/Featured-Articles/Which-Online-Video-Award-Is-Most-Important-86737.aspx | url-status = live }}</ref>
