Great video, just about to offer an online course on my website and was considering Vimeo, after being put off by the high price of Wistia. Your video has given me all I need to know, thanks very much.
Hi Jason, Thank you for always uploading great and educating videos, just a quick question, if i use the plus plan, will my student be able to share my link to a 3rd party? or i need to upgrade to pro before my course link can be protected? Thank you so much as i await your response.
Hello Jason, I hope all is well ! Is it good to use VIMEO , if i'm going to use the embedded link on my wordpress website to host my online courses? i've seen a lot of videos telling(How to download vimeo videos) so., it's a bit confusing, what do you recommend? Thanks
@@JasonAWhaling bs - its super wasy to steal from vimeo! you need something streaming in order not to make it super easy, vimeo is the easiest to steal

If it's online someone is going to steal it. Vimeo's recent security update has made it harder but you'll have this issue with almost any player you use to host
Hi Jason, I've found your content really valuable - just as well as getting support from platform providers like Vimeo is difficult! Do you know the answer to this query. We want to license videos to corporates, i.e. X courses for Y users for $Z. Is it possible to set this up using Vimeo privacy settings or is it necessary to set this up through our website?
That's something you need to do through your website. You'll be able to hide your videos from Vimeo and set it up so they can only be played on your site, but the licensing needs to be done through your site
Hmm you could have showed more details about why vimeo is better than some other platforms. I am not a newbie but it was not clear. For my 1st course choosing between Thinkific and Podia yet for the amount of students for my pilot launch with 1 year access to the course, the price of basic subscription where I need certain features, is still too much (unreasonable). Wonder how would a course look on vimeo (not just embedding vimeo videos to your website). And also whether they allow to have quizzes, surveys and show students' progress bar.
Thank you for letting me know how I dropped the ball on this one. With vimeo you'll still need another platform to host and protect the content (my fav: jasonwhaling.com/thrivecart). Then you embed the videos inside the membership site
* * * Okay... I'm convinced. I go over to vimeo - where I've been a customer for a decade - and search for your channel... only to discover that your courses are there, but you're not using it as an advertising platform for your own creations... * * * And this video is released a day before you release another video on the 3 reasons why vimeo is NOT a good choice for hosting video... * * * I'll go back and watch them again to see how they differ, but I would, at first glance, decide that your sincerity is in question here...

That's correct, I only use Vimeo to host the videos, not sell or promote them.... For the multiple videos it's my goal to provide both sides of the argument to help you make a informed decision. I see you saw my 3rd video on Vimeo vs RUclips... that video is my personal recommendation.
hi, i am wondering if I am making a 40 hours course, and I expected I will get around a thousand of students, should I use vimeo to host and embed my videos? And what plan should I choose?
So what Learning Management Software do you use for your courses? I take it that you only use Vimeo Plus to host the video then you enter the link of that video on a LMS (with a nonvisible link to video watcher). I guess you cannot use something like LifterLMS or others like it.
I assume a common traffic flow might be: uTube > Landing Page > Vimeo Course. Do you have a video on where to host your landing page? Does Google try to keep traffic from leaving uTube, and if so, how do you get around that? P.S. You're awesome.
I'm someone who's using Vimeos platform as a student and I'd tell any instructor who wants to make an online subscription site to NOT use Vimeo. It messes up something as simple as making a payment. The navigation is really poor and the home pages that I've visited don't have any of the information a first time visitor wants. Is that the creator's fault? Yes - to a degree. Anyone who's looking to build their own subscription site would be better off doing a lot more research and really spending time building a site rather than using a ready-made platform with issues . Not that it has to be that hard. There are premade templates or plugins that help. But Vimeo is just bleh - saying this as someone who's just trying to follow classes online
Thank you for sharing your story! I would defiantly agree that it's not great for online courses. It works best if it's on a wordpress site and the videos are embeded there.
Other downloaders are still working fine on Vimeo player even after unchecking download option. What is the point of unchecking if other downloaders can still work fine
There is no privacy on vimeo. Anyone an download your content when you embed it to your website, you can make it private, non downloadable, but no sense. If the video can be downloaded, then blocking it embedding on other unauthorized websites is a useless act.

Great video, just about to offer an online course on my website and was considering Vimeo, after being put off by the high price of Wistia. Your video has given me all I need to know, thanks very much.
Awesome it was helpful! Wish you the best with your online course 👍
Brilliant. Just what I needed Jason, thanks for this!
Awesome to hear!

You can have password protection and domain level privacy on he Plus plan, no need to upgrade to pro 👍
Thanks Jason. This is a great help as I am looking to do online courses.
Thank you Jason. Looks like I’ll be using Vimeo with Thrive Apprentice for my course.
Awesome!
Hello Jason, I hope all is well !
Is it good to use VIMEO , if i'm going to use the embedded link on my wordpress website to host my online courses?
i've seen a lot of videos telling(How to download vimeo videos) so., it's a bit confusing, what do you recommend?
Thanks
That would be the way to do it... It's inevitable that people will try and steal your content regardless of what video hosting solution you choose
@@JasonAWhaling bs - its super wasy to steal from vimeo! you need something streaming in order not to make it super easy, vimeo is the easiest to steal
Is there a way to prevent people from sharing the private link I send them to their friends?
There isn't.
Great Jason. This will help us create our online art course material.
Happy to hear it! Good luck with creating your course
You were definitely ahead of your time. How did you sell it online? I’m using stripe, and buy now plus buttons.

but idm can easily download the video from Vimeo, how could it be protected from download?

Hello sir now I have vimeo plus for online course..so which privacy setting is best? I have chosen to hide it from vimeo is this the right one?
Yes, you want to hide it on Vimeo so people can't find the video. You should be good to go
can we sell courses as one time rather than subscription based? can we issue discount coupons for video?
You can sell your course with any payment structure you'd like. That would be determined in your membership site software, not Vimeo.

Good info thanks
Happy to help!
Why not? I’ve just created on demand tutorial of 60 video modules...
We still use Vimeo despite the drawbacks... But there's a link to the why not video in the description
Great video, so clear and helpful- Subscribed for more- Thank you ~*~
Happy to help and thank you for watching!
Thanks Jason for the great information, This video really helps me.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Is there any speed control (to fast forward or slow down the video) for Vimeo Pro?
Yes, with some of the paid plans you can give people the ability to speed up the video... I don't know if it's in Pro or starts at Business
Jason Whaling Thank you so much! Great video
* * *
Okay... I'm convinced.
I go over to vimeo - where I've been a customer for a decade - and search for your channel... only to discover that your courses are there, but you're not using it as an advertising platform for your own creations...
* * *
And this video is released a day before you release another video on the 3 reasons why vimeo is NOT a good choice for hosting video...
* * *
I'll go back and watch them again to see how they differ, but I would, at first glance, decide that your sincerity is in question here...
You argue both sides... then use the one you decide isn't a good fit for what you do...
AND change your favorite a day later... hmmm...

Until that time...

hi, i am wondering if I am making a 40 hours course, and I expected I will get around a thousand of students, should I use vimeo to host and embed my videos? And what plan should I choose?
For that many you'll want to have the pro plan so you can upload all of your content. Plus won't give you enough space for that amount of content 👍
@@JasonAWhaling thanks~ is the pro plan equal to standard? I only found starter, standard, advanced and enterprise in the pricing page.
So grateful found you
Thanks, mate!
Have Vimeo Pro but couldn't find a link to create my course
So you don't create the course on Vimeo... Use Vimeo to host your course videos. You'll embed the Vimeo code onto your course website 👍
So what Learning Management Software do you use for your courses? I take it that you only use Vimeo Plus to host the video then you enter the link of that video on a LMS (with a nonvisible link to video watcher). I guess you cannot use something like LifterLMS or others like it.
Great question and thanks for the insight
Is vimeo plus is enough to start my online course website and integrate vimeo player in my website
Yes 👍
I assume a common traffic flow might be: uTube > Landing Page > Vimeo Course.
Do you have a video on where to host your landing page? Does Google try to keep traffic from leaving uTube, and if so, how do you get around that?
P.S. You're awesome.
Mailchimp has now awesome landing pages.
What about IDM that capture the videos and download it ? Or screen recorders :(
The sad reality is both of those would result in your course being stolen.
@@JasonAWhaling any solutions for this sir?
If we take 7tb premium plan.. can 5000+ students access the video at the very same time? Is there any problem with the bandwidth? Pls reply
You should not have any issues with the bandwidth. Only the top 3% - 5% trafficked accounts have to pay extra with Vimeo.
Very good
🙏 Thanks! Wish you the best with your online course

@@JasonAWhaling Since I have a Wordpress site, then my course thru vimeo should work well?
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks, mate!! 🔥
Other downloaders are still working fine on Vimeo player even after unchecking download option. What is the point of unchecking if other downloaders can still work fine
Good question
Is it like content samurai
No, Vimeo is just for hosting videos; that's it.
just as I suspected! 🤔 smdh... good detective work Nate Sotello! ty! 👌💕
Glad to hear it was helpful 👍
Good luck with your online coruses🚀
There is no privacy on vimeo. Anyone an download your content when you embed it to your website, you can make it private, non downloadable, but no sense. If the video can be downloaded, then blocking it embedding on other unauthorized websites is a useless act.
That issue is true for all video players. As soon as it's up; someone can take it. The difference is how easy it is to download
Lol, at 4 seconds, your logo is very similar to that of the crazy cult group Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Yeah... it's been changed/removed from newer videos. Complete coincidence😳
