You can customize how you package your videos on your Vimeo OTT site in the following ways:
- Advertising-based (AVOD)
- Free content (FVOD)
- Pay-Per-View (PPV)
- Transactional (TVOD) - Purchase/Rental
- Subscription (SVOD)
Advertising-based (AVOD)
Vimeo OTT supports basic advertising integration, so you can integrate pre-, post-, or mid-roll ads.
⚠️Note: AVOD is available on Vimeo OTT Enterprise only and requires a Google Ad Manager account. Currently, post- or mid-roll ads are only available to sellers with a Google Ad Manager 360 account. For information on Vimeo OTT Enterprise, visit 'Vimeo OTT Plans and Pricing'.
Free Content (FVOD)
Vimeo OTT provides multiple options for distributing free content without a paywall. Additional details are found at 'Distribute videos for free with Vimeo OTT'.
Pay-per-View (PPV)
Pay-per-view through Vimeo OTT allows your customers to purchase access to a single live video event or an on-demand collection of past live events. Read on at 'Selling live pay-per-view products'
Transactional (TVOD)
Once you've arranged your videos into products, you can set either a rental price, a purchase price, or both.
- Purchasing—This allows your customer access to videos inside a product through streaming or direct downloading. Videos can be set to ‘streaming-only’, which disables downloads.
-
Rentals - Allow for unlimited streaming within a set time period with no access to direct downloads.
Optionally, videos can be set to streaming-only, which will disable downloading. Find out about products at 'Introduction to products'
You can also provide free or discounted access to your videos using tools like Screeners or Coupons.
There is no limit to how often a user can stream or download your videos, and you will never be charged extra for bandwidth costs.
Subscription (SVOD)
Customers pay a recurring monthly or yearly fee to receive unlimited access to collections of video content through your branded Vimeo OTT website or app. Learn how to create a subscription product at 'Creating a subscription product'.
You can also add customers to your Subscription product via the Customer's page for $1 USD per customer per month.
In addition, you can create free trials for subscriptions for up to 30 days. Discover how to make a free subscription trial at 'How to create a free trial'.
⚠️ Note: Subscription-based (SVOD) videos have pricing that differs from transactional (TVOD) videos. Visit ‘Vimeo OTT Pricing breakdown’ for full details.
