Team members can @mention each other using the “at” @ symbol in comments on both the video management and viewer pages. If an Unlisted video has been shared outside of your team, those viewers will also be able to use @mentions in a comment. Read on to learn how to @mention someone in a comment and for additional information on how @mentions work on Vimeo.
How to use @mentions
- First, navigate to the video from your Library or the viewer page.
- Select the Comments button to open the commenting panel on the right side of the page.
- In the comment text box, start typing the “at” @ symbol followed by at least one character to populate a list of team members to mention.
- Once you have found the user you would like to @mention, select their name and then type the rest of your comment.
- Select Post to leave your comment on the video.
- The user you have @mentioned will receive an email, activity bell, and push notification (if enabled on mobile) from which they can access the video with the commenting panel opened and the relevant comment highlighted.
Who can use @mentions?
- All team members can mention other users in a comment. The list of team members you can @mention varies based on your permission to the video and its privacy setting.
- Non-team members can use @mentions, but the list of who they can @mention is determined by who already has access to the resource or has commented before.
- Mentioning is not supported on Public or Password-protected videos.
What happens if a user is @mentioned?
- If a user is @mentioned they receive an email, bell and push notification (if enabled on mobile) from which they can click through to arrive to the video with the commenting panel opened and the relevant comment highlighted.
- Team members who are @mentioned will be granted can view access to the resource if they do not already have inherited access.
- Non-team users who are @mentioned will never be granted explicit access to the resource. Non- team users will only be able to engage with comments and @mentions for Unlisted videos as this video privacy governs their access.
