No downtime Partial Downtime Not measurable No data

Measured by FlareWarden's own checks of vimeo.com from multiple regions every 6 hours. Vimeo's status page sets the verdict above when it reports trouble, but never these figures. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 90 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

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 17 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. When you open this page and our last check is more than 30 minutes old, we check again on the spot; those checks update the verdict, never the availability figures.
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. Our checks only change their 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, and the verdict is the worse of what it reports and what our checks see: a major outage of Vimeo itself is Down, trouble with one part of it is Degraded, problems at a few of a provider's many locations change nothing, and a security notice that marks nothing down is shown but changes nothing either. We check the feed every 3 minutes and read it again within minutes of any change to its incidents or components; a reading counts for 45 minutes after the last check that found nothing changed. The availability figures above are our measurement alone.

Get alerted when Vimeo goes down

We check Vimeo every 6 hours, and again when you open this page if that was more than 30 minutes ago. Your own monitors run as often as every 30 seconds, from up to 17 cities across three regions, and tell you the moment something breaks.
