Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Vimeo does

Vimeo hosts video for creators and businesses, with an embeddable player, live streaming and review tools aimed at professional work rather than a public feed. Its player is embedded on marketing sites, course platforms and portfolios, so an outage breaks video on other people's websites as much as on Vimeo itself.

What an outage looks like

The embedded player fails to load on external sites, leaving a black rectangle on an otherwise working page. Playback stops partway or will not start. Uploads fail, or complete and then sit unconverted, so a video exists but cannot be watched. Live streams drop, and analytics stop updating while playback itself works normally.

What to do about it

Check vimeostatus.com, which reports the website, the on-site and embedded players, Upload, Conversion, the API, live streaming features and analytics as separate components. Conversion lagging is common after an incident and resolves on its own. Avoid re-uploading a video that finished transferring, since a second copy needs converting too and doubles the wait.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Vimeo is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 18 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Vimeo outage FAQ

Why is a Vimeo video broken on someone else's website?

The Embedded Player is a separate component, and sites across the web embed Vimeo videos. When it fails, those videos break everywhere at once while the pages containing them load normally. Nothing needs fixing on the host site, and site owners often waste time debugging their own pages before realising the cause is external.

My upload finished but the video will not play. Why?

Upload and Conversion are separate components. A video can transfer completely and then wait to be transcoded into playable formats, which is what makes it available at different qualities. During and after an incident, conversion queues build up. The video is safe; re-uploading only adds another item to the same queue.

Does a Vimeo outage affect live streams already running?

Live streaming features are tracked separately, and a stream in progress can drop or degrade. Unlike recorded video, a live event cannot be retried later, so an incident during a broadcast is a real loss. For anything important, having a second streaming path arranged in advance is the only meaningful protection.

Are my videos at risk during an outage?

Videos already uploaded and converted are stored and become temporarily unreachable rather than lost. The exposure is limited to an upload interrupted midway. As with any host, keeping local masters rather than relying on the platform as your only copy is what turns an outage into an inconvenience instead of a problem.

Why do my analytics show a drop that does not match reality?

Analytics is its own component and can fail while playback works perfectly, so a dip in the graph may reflect missing measurement rather than missing viewers. After an incident, avoid drawing conclusions from the affected window. Figures sometimes backfill, but a gap that persists is a reporting gap, not an audience one.

How we measure this

We request Vimeo's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
Where Vimeo publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
