Go live with Vimeo.

Live streaming platform

Level up your live video with reliable, high-quality streaming for your viewers everywhere.

Vimeo’s live streaming platform works great for:

  • Performances and events
  • Webinars and classes
  • Community engagement
  • Company announcements
  • Product launches
  • Virtual conferences and panels

Live streaming with Vimeo is easy.

  • Set up your event.
    Add event registration forms, and customize your visuals, audio, and graphics in Vimeo’s backend — so you’re ready to rock when it’s time to start live video streaming.
  • Test in the preview screen.
    Test your setup in the preview screen right before you go live. Make sure it all looks and sounds good before you start streaming.
  • Go live with Vimeo.
    Press “Go live” to broadcast your stream audience, wherever they are. Monitor chat and Q&A; in the Vimeo platform, too.

A big part of our mission is to create a space in which culture can be shared, and consumed, and conversations can be had. How do we bring that magic into the virtual space?

Reach your audience on every social channel.

Simulcast your live stream on a number of different social platforms or custom apps so your audience can find you wherever they are. Plus, all streams are ad-free. Your viewers will thank you.

Live stream
in full HD.

Broadcast your events in full HD with adaptive streaming, giving your viewers the best quality across devices, even with limited bandwidth. And when your event is over, it’s auto-archived in up to 4K.

You control your content.

Keep your private streams secure with password protection, embed permissions, or a central hub with SSO for your internal teams. Get advanced analytics in real time, monitor your stream quality, even set up a backup stream. And if you’re streaming on a corporate network, ensure seamless delivery with eCDN.

Professional tools.
Simple setup.

Give your live streaming events professional polish without the hassle of an encoder. Easily share your screen and add lower thirds, full screen graphics, logos, and event registration forms — straight from your browser.

Keep them
tuned in.

Boost viewer involvement with a suite of powerful, easy-to-use live engagement tools — including live Q&A;, live polls, audience chat, and custom calls to action. Keep an eye on your performance with advanced event and viewer-level analytics.

We were looking for something that would be scalable, something reliable, something able to reach our global market. We chose Vimeo because it really hit all of those points.
