How to manage my showcase's privacy settings

This article discusses the various privacy settings for showcases on Vimeo, including how to manage these settings based on membership tiers.

You can designate a showcase’s privacy under the Info & Privacy tab. The options you will see vary by membership tier: 

  • Free, Basic: Public, Password, Private
  • All paid plans: Public, Password, Hide from Vimeo, Private

⚠️Note: On team accounts, Contributors, Contributors+, Admins, and Owners can manage showcases. For Enterprise accounts with Prohibit public sharing enabled, Contributors and Contributors+ won't be able to set the privacy of a Showcase to Public.
