You can update your video's privacy settings by clicking the Privacy (lock icon) to the right of the video. To learn more about the options in this panel see Manage your video's privacy settings.
Delete your video
Be careful when deleting a video. You cannot undo this action yourself and we cannot guarantee our team can recover a deleted video.
You can delete your video by doing the following:
- Go to your Library.
- Choose the video you want to delete.
- On the edit page, select the down arrow ⌄ in the top left corner of the video page next to the video's title.
- Select Delete video.
Edit your video with Vimeo Create
You can use Vimeo Create to edit any video in under 120 minutes on Web or under 10 minutes on mobile. If you originally created your video using Vimeo Create see Create editor for more information.
Customize the player
You can customize how your video’s player will appear to your viewers, both on-site––if the video is not public or password-protected––and when embedded, by clicking the Play icon under the Appearance tab on the right side. To learn more, see Customize the video player.
Video recipient page
When you share a video set to "Unlisted" or "Private" (which includes team members) those recipients will see a cleaner version of the video page. The video recipient page view places more of the focus on your video and less on external distractions such as links to other parts of the website and video recommendations.
If you’re a Free, Basic, or Plus user and you’ve set a team/company logo for your account, your viewer will be able to see it in the upper left corner of the page, along with the comments panel to the right of the player. If you are a Pro, Business, Premium, Starter, Standard, Advanced, or Enterprise user, your viewers will also be able to link out to your Review Page.
