Browse the Library

You can access the Library by clicking Manage videos from the home page or by hovering over Manage Videos in the top navigation and selecting My Videos from the menu. You’ll be taken to a page where you can see all the videos you've created or uploaded to your account, both public and private, and any live events you might have. 

Use the search bar at the top right of the page to find videos on your account or across Vimeo by searching for relevant words or phrases.

If you are trying to search for public Vimeo content outside of your account, be sure to select Search all of Vimeo for… in the results dropdown to be brought to our public search results page. Alternatively, visit Search on Vimeo. 

If you press the Enter key or select View all results for… in the search dropdown, you will be taken to our Video Library search results page, where you can filter your content by:

  • Date modified
  • Content type (video or folder)
  • Folder the content lives in
  • Additional filters that may contain your search term (Title, description, tags, and chapter names.

If you’re part of a team, you can view team videos that you have access to by selecting the specific team from the Team Switcher at the top of the page. This will filter out any videos that aren’t from that team in your Library.

Use the sort option on the top left of the page 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 a subset of videos in the Library or from search results in the 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 collections: Add the selected videos to any of your existing showcases, groups, channels, or portfolios.
  • Move: Move the selected videos to a folder that you specify.
  • Privacy: Change who can access or can comment on your selected videos and whether they can be embedded or downloaded.
  • Delete: Permanently delete the 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, 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.) 

There are several additional icons that will allow you to perform actions associated with the video. In list mode, these icons will appear if you hover over the video.
