The Vimeo app on Zoom gives you the opportunity to back up your Zoom cloud recordings directly to your Vimeo account—no more downloading to your computer, then logging in to Vimeo to upload. Once your recording is on Vimeo, you’ll have access to our video player, collaboration tools, customizable privacy, and embed settings, and much more.
⚠️Note: If you delete a video that is stored both in Zoom and Vimeo in one location (e.g. Zoom), it will NOT simultaneously be deleted in the other location (e.g. Vimeo). This goes both ways.

How to install the app?
- In order to be able to set up the Vimeo app on Zoom, you’ll need to have an account on Vimeo and have Recording permissions on your Zoom account. If you do not have Recording permissions enabled, contact the Owner of your Zoom Account.
- In the Zoom app, you’ll head to the App Marketplace under User Management or click on https://marketplace.zoom.us/, then search for the Vimeo app in the Marketplace search; you can also find it here.
- Go through the setup flow, accept the terms, and then you’ll see the installation confirmation page. After installation success, you’ll land on your Zoom Recordings Folder.
- Once installed, you’ll be able to select Record to the cloud on your Zoom meeting. This cloud recording will transcode and upload to your connected Vimeo account after your meeting recording ends.
- After your video finishes transcoding, it will appear in the Zoom Recordings Folder in your video manager on Vimeo, where you’ll be able to access all our tools for sharing and collaboration.
⚠️Note: If you are a team member on an Enterprise account, your recordings will upload to your Private to Me folder by default. You can then edit any settings on it before moving it to another folder on the account as desired. If you are a team member on a non-Enterprise account, your recordings will upload to your personal account, rather than your team account.
Zoom recordings on your preferred team and folder destination
You will be able to select your preferred team and folder destination for all of your Zoom recordings from your existing settings by navigating to https://vimeo.com/settings/videos/upload_defaults and then choosing your preferred defaults settings.
If you have the Zoom integration installed, this will appear below the Content Rating defaults but above the Video Preferences.
In order to select the preferred team and folder destination for your Zoom recordings, you will be prompted to make this selection while first installing the Zoom integration app.

You can choose to skip this step, in which case, by default, the Zoom videos would be stored in the first team you belong to within the drop-down in an automatically created Zoom Recordings subfolder. This can be found within your existing Private to Me folder.

Zoom recording privacy settings
All videos uploaded from Zoom will have the default privacy setting of “Private." You can update the recording's privacy setting after it uploads to your Vimeo account.
Can I connect multiple Zoom accounts to one Vimeo account?
It's only possible to link multiple Zoom accounts into one Vimeo team account if you have a Vimeo Enterprise account with Video Library enabled. In that instance, a Zoom Recordings folder will be created in each team member's 'Private to Me' folder after they install the Vimeo app on Zoom and record a meeting. Those recordings can then be edited and moved into another team folder in the Vimeo team account.
If you do not have Vimeo Enterprise with Video Library, then installing the Vimeo app on Zoom ties one Zoom account to one Vimeo account, with each Vimeo account having its own Zoom Recordings folder.
