Manage videos in your libraries

This feature requires a Pro, Business, Premium, Standard, Advanced, or Enterprise membership.

As a paid user, you have two different libraries - My library and Team library. My library is where you can upload, view, and manage your own videos. You can share videos from this space, make them public, or move them into the Team library. The team library is where you can upload, view, and manage all of the shared videos and folders on the account. You can share content with specific team members in your Team library to give them access. 

As a free user, you only have one space - The library. When you upgrade, your Library will change into your Team library and you will get a new My library space. If you’re looking for help with your Library as a free user, please refer to all Team library functionality in this article.

Browse your Libraries

Go to My library from the home page to manage your videos. You can upload, create, and record videos in this space. You can view and manage videos in this space as you see fit - it’s a dedicated space for your videos. From here, you can share videos with other team members, make them public on Vimeo, or work on videos until you’re ready to move them into the Team library.

Team members with Contributor, Contributor Plus (enterprise only) Admin, and Owner roles can add videos to  My library. Account owners and admins can manage content inside of another user’s My library using admin tools. Viewer team members will see this folder when they join a team but cannot upload or create content into it. When a Viewer or below is upgraded to Contributor or above, they will unlock the ability to upload and create content into My library. Content privacy settings in My library respect the account owner’s privacy settings. This space cannot be deleted or renamed and ensures users always have a place of their own to save their content (upload, create, record, and save content).

Go to the Team library from home to manage team videos on the account. This space is meant for team collaboration, organizing shared videos and folders, and knowledge sharing.

Owners and admins can see all content uploaded by any user in the Team library. Contributor plus, contributors, and viewers have to be granted permission to specific folders to see content in their Team library.

Use the search bar at the top of the page to find videos across My library and Team library or across Vimeo by searching for relevant words or phrases. See How to search your Libary for more information

Use the sort options on the top of the My library or Team library pages to arrange your videos by title or the date the video was modified or added. You can also toggle between grid and list view using the icon at the top right above the first row of your videos.

Perform bulk actions

You can perform bulk actions on videos in your My library or Team library or from search results in your Library. To select a video, check the box on the left side of its thumbnail/row (depending on if you are in grid-view or list-view).

Once you start selecting videos, the following bulk action options will appear:

• Add to Showcase: Add selected videos to any of your existing showcases.
• Move: Move the up to 50 selected videos to a folder that you specify.
  • Learn more about folders at 'Organize videos into folders'.  
• Privacy: Change privacy settings for up to 50 videos at a time. You can select Link privacy or Embed privacy as required. You can choose to allow or disable downloads. Note that Vimeo Stock clips and Vimeo On Demand videos must remain private.
• Delete: Permanently delete up to 100 selected videos from your account after entering your password (team members cannot perform this action).
  
  

Make changes to individual videos

If you want to make more granular changes to an individual video or review its file size, you can navigate to its settings from the Library by clicking the video’s thumbnail. Learn more at 'Video settings overview'. 

(Side note: if you want to edit the settings of all your videos at once, go to the Videos tab in your Account settings. After making changes to your Upload default, make sure to check the box next to “Also apply to all existing videos” before you save.) 

Several additional options will allow you to perform actions associated with the video. In list mode, these icons will appear if you hover over the video.
