Contact form
To receive the fastest support possible:
- Make sure you are logged in to your Vimeo account.
- Click Contact us at the top of the help center (or the blue chat box in the lower right corner).
- Once you type in your query, our Digital Assistant will first look for an answer to your question in our help center.
- If it’s unsuccessful, our Digital Assistant will prompt you to create a ticket within the chatbot widget. Follow the prompts until you receive a confirmation with your ticket number.
💡Tip: Include as much detailed information as you can in the form’s Description field so we can better investigate your issue from the beginning. Consider using Vimeo Record to demonstrate your issue and share the link with us.
Messaging support
Messaging is another way to reach out to our Support Team. Initial response times may vary based on your plan type and the severity of the issue. Messaging conversations are handled via the chatbot widget and/or via email, based on your preference.
Messaging on the Help Center
Business, Premium, Advanced, and Enterprise customers have access to Messaging. To access Messaging, you need to log into the Help Center here with your vimeo.com email and password (or via SSO). You can then begin conversations with our Digital Assistant via the widget on the bottom right-hand corner of your screen, which will transfer you to a live agent if necessary.
Messaging for Live events
Advanced, Premium, and Enterprise customers have access to live chat support for livestreaming issues 24/7. The chat option can be found by clicking Support at the bottom of any of your live events' management pages.
Phone support
We offer phone support to our Enterprise customers. If you have an Enterprise contract with us, you should have received your phone PIN and instructions for contacting Enterprise Support during the onboarding process via email. If you cannot locate your phone PIN, contact your account manager to have it sent to you.

Follow-up response rate
Follow-up response times may be longer than our first response time. Priority is assigned based on your plan as well as the nature of the issue.
Particularly complicated issues that require further investigation are often reassigned to a product specialist. Our specialists are trained to resolve issues as quickly as possible, but follow-up responses and resolutions can still take multiple days, especially if a given issue requires input from other teams, such as our developers.
