Vimeo Brings Apple TV App Back

by

Video hosting and sharing platform Vimeo today announced the launch of an updated Apple TV app, bringing Vimeo back to the Apple TV App Store for the first time in two years.

vimeo apple tv
The updated Vimeo app has been rebuilt, and it is available on ‌Apple TV‌ units that are running tvOS 18 or higher. The Vimeo app supports discovering, searching for, and watching videos that have been uploaded to Vimeo.

It includes a Library, and Watch Later list, and a section for On Demand purchases, as well as Staff Picks. Enhanced playback with chapters, speed controls, and multi-language options, and 4K support is available.

While the Vimeo app was missing from the ‌Apple TV‌ ‌App Store‌, Vimeo users had to AirPlay from the Vimeo app on an iPhone or an iPad to watch videos on a bigger display. Vimeo says that its community has been asking for the return of the ‌Apple TV‌ app for watching premium, ad-free content.

Vimeo is free to use, but it offers paid Starter, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans starting at $20 per month for video creators.

It's been up for a couple weeks, but tbh the old "defunct" version was faster and simpler lol

Killed my account when they discontinued the app. I have two dozen home movies and a private sign in for family. But when the dropped the app it sort of made it all worthless.

It blows my mind that there isn't a competitor to Youtube. Vimeo is probably 1/1000000 the size and they stand the best chance. If I was Vimeo, I'd go full early days of TikTok -- inflate views, big cash payouts to creators, and remove all ads for awhile. They just need some traction.

Vimeo was always a much much better UI than YouTube, but at some point they pivoted into being more of a back end distribution and collaboration platform than trying to compete with Google. Probably a smart choice, but as a user I vastly prefer watching things on Vimeo than the chaos of YouTube.

Good to see the app back on Apple TV. Not sure whether the TV app will return for the other platforms.
