Vimeo Releases New Features
If you’re looking for an alternative for YouTube or just a real quality site for uploading sermons and other video, Vimeo is the best I’ve ever used. They have a free and paid service but either way you won’t be dissapointed. Our church is currently using it for baptism and testimony videos along with a few videos for our I’m New page on our website. We also use it to post videos of the entire message of a singles ministry we are a part of called Momentum. Vimeo has recently released a few more sweet features.
First, custom URLs. This means instead of the web address for your video being this vimeo.com/17162585, it can look like this: vimeo.com/momentumdsm/promo. Now why this is a little longer, it’s easier to remember. You can still use the old link of you’re looking for something shorter, both will work.
Next, if you’re a Plus user, meaning you pay, you can embed your videos in HD and they will play HD default. Previously, the video would default to lower quality and the user could up the resolution by choice. I tried to test it here but this webpage isn’t wide enough to hold an HD video :)
The final feature is pretty basic. It allows you to show or hide your recent activity on your profile page.
Ok, recap. Vimeo is one of the best options for video online and it’s always great to get new features! Thanks Vimeo!
