Important update regarding the Create apps for Android and iOS
Vimeo has decided it’s time to discontinue its Create mobile apps to bring you a simpler, more feature-rich experience on mobile. The Create apps for Android and iOS are no longer being updated. Vimeo’s mobile video creation and editing tools are now available in the upgraded Vimeo mobile app for Android and iOS.
From our newly upgraded Vimeo app, you’ll be able to:
- Upload and organize your videos
- Get AI-generated video scripts
- Create new recordings with a teleprompter
- Edit using advanced AI-powered tools
- Leverage video review tools and comments
- Customize your video player
- Monitor video performance
- Manage your team
- And much more
We understand that moving your workflow to a new app can be frustrating and inconvenient. Still, we’re confident that you’ll have a simplified experience by having all your tools in one place on the Vimeo app, which provides access to video creation, editing, management, player, and sharing tools. When you switch to the upgraded Vimeo mobile app, you won’t lose any of the videos you’ve created so far.
Will I lose my videos or subscription?
No – if you’re an existing subscriber to the Create mobile app, you won’t lose access to your videos or subscription on the Create mobile app. We store your videos safely on Vimeo servers, so you can still access them on the upgraded Vimeo mobile app or Vimeo.com. You can also continue accessing technical support for the Create mobile app through the end of 2023. However, Vimeo will no longer publish new releases or security updates for these apps going forward.
When will Vimeo discontinue the Create mobile apps?
In early 2024, we will end support for the Create mobile apps for Android and iOS. At that time, we will cease providing technical support, and the apps will be removed from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
If you purchased a subscription through the Create mobile app, there won’t be any cancellations or disruptions to your account through the remainder of 2023. But to continue using mobile video creation and editing tools starting in 2024, you will need to move your subscription to the upgraded Vimeo mobile app using the instructions below:
- Cancel your subscription on the Create mobile app. You can find details on how to do this in Managing Mobile In-App Subscriptions.
- Download the upgraded Vimeo mobile app for Android and iOS, log in using the same email address as your prior Create app subscription, and purchase a new subscription from the Vimeo app.
- If you have remaining time on your previous Create app subscription, please contact us, and we will provide a refund for any unused portion of your earlier subscription.
You will not lose access to your videos by following the steps above. Once you re-subscribe to the upgraded Vimeo mobile app, your videos will be available there. You can regain access to your videos as long as you resubscribe within one year. Read about lapsing from paid membership to Basic membership.
I am a free user without a subscription. How can I continue using mobile video creation and editing tools?
You’ll need to download the upgraded Vimeo app for Android or iOS and log in using your current account credentials. Your existing videos will remain available after you complete this step.
What features from the Create mobile app are available in the upgraded Vimeo app?
You’ll have access to the same creation and editing features on the Vimeo app as you did on the Create mobile app, including:
- Create and edit videos
- Add stock photos (Standard/Pro accounts and higher)
- Add text and captions
- Add branding to a video
- Create videos using templates
