- (2025-04-23) Getwiley: this thing is so un-user friendly. Why can't I just record the screen I"m looking at, with my face in the corner? That's all I want to do! I remember I used to be able to do that in Vimeo, maybe like years ago? Now, I have no idea how! It keeps forcing the screen back to vimeo, instead of the screen I want to record. It's just so confusing, I honestly hate it. Vimeo, please fix this!
- (2025-04-04) Kim Griffin: April 2025 Recording is still the worst! There is such a lag when you share screen and video yourself at the same time - literally the worst and such a waste of my time. Looking for an alternative solution. Around 3min 30sec is in this video gives you an example of what I mean https://vimeo.com/1072601306/41bb3d9595 Hate the update - used to be able to record whilst presenting with Canva in Meet - massive issues tonight as I couldn't use the camera/mic in two different tabs AND I couldn't share the screen with Meet, as I had to share it in Vimeo. Had to abort my recording whilst presenting live, and now have to re-do the presentation to record it. Please bring back the option to directly record an existing tab within chrome. Currently looking for another screen recorder option :( 11 Nov 24 update - I have managed to record and share screen in meet (not sure if this was changed Vimeo's end as really struggled to do this the first time - incredibly frustrated that there was no email to advise of update) - however the new set up doesn't work for me. It is too heavy on bandwidth and if I try to record the video, everything just lags - so I can now only record my presentation and audio. Looking for a different solution - annoyingly as it used to work so well.
- (2025-01-23) Vaughan James: Used to be great, really easy to use, but now crippled to a max of 3 videos on the free plan, and the extension doen't even work anymore. It launches into the Vimeo site with a black video box, starts recording on the Vimeo page (not the site I actually want to record) and when switiching to the tab I need to record, the extension records nothing. Uploads a black video. Uninstalling as this is now completely useless.
- (2024-12-09) Walter Verdejo: Hey Vimeo. Your extension's UX was paired to none on the business. It did the job and did it brilliantly in every flow. I was amazed how good everything was working. This new iteration though... Yeah, I'm sorry, it's so confusing, I tried. I swear. But it's so unnervingly hard to understand. I've been trying for months, and I'm sorry, but who gave the green flag-pole-sitta to this?
- (2024-12-06) Adam Teece: I am a Vimeo Pro subscriber and absolutely loved the extension before the October 2024 update. Now the extension is just a link to page on Vimeo. Utterly useless extension now. The extension just takes you to https://vimeo.com/record/start-recording so don't bother installing an extension if you can just go to the link.
- (2024-11-25) Nadja von Massow: Updated review (November 2024) This recent update is a joke and has made the screen recorder borderline unusable. Whoever thought this up should get nowhere near any CX or UI development.
- (2024-11-25) Nadja von Massow: Updated review (November 2024) This recent update is a joke and has made the screen recorder borderline unusable. Whoever thought this up should get nowhere near any CX or UI development.
- (2024-11-13) Pesa Shayo: The screen recording was easy to use before, but since the last upgrade, it has stopped working. I'm not sure why they had to mess with it
- (2024-11-12) Alan Clark: update rendered the screen recorder useless. WTF vimeo
- (2024-11-08) Sanjay Patel: Vimeo has been really disappointing – the customer service could definitely use some improvement!
- (2024-11-08) Camille t: bug! not working :( i tried SCREEN RECORDER - MY SPACE. Capture Screen & Camera. Share via GOOGLE DRIVE. Give it a try works excellent
- (2024-11-08) Gavin Routledge: Same as recent reviewers. This is absolutely terrible. I cannot get my microphone to record at all - I've tried 3 different mics. I think the pop up at the top of the screen is obscuring my view of being able to enable the mic and camera. I can no longer record myself as well as the screen. And the screen recording is partial instead of full sreen. Please revers this update ASAP!!! I am using a laptop on windows 11 with all updates.
- (2024-11-07) Amanda Cannon: Wow, this is terrible. With the recent update the extension is unusable, which is so unfortunate because I used to use it all the time. At least they did it before the subscription price increase hits my account as this was the main reason I had a paid vimeo subscription and now I know to not renew. Time to try loom.
- (2024-11-07) Jennifer Brooks: I uninstalled and reinstalled to try and launch the video recorder - what happened??! This used to be one of my favorite tools and now its useless
- (2024-11-06) Rachel Jackson: Used to be my most used extension and now it is rendered useless. I don't need another video meeting app, I need to screen record. Nobody asked for this
- (2024-11-06) Jennifer Stacy: Negative stars. Don't use Vimeo! Our students were able to record almost completely independently with the widget last year and into September. Now there is no widget but a new screen that opens that either doesn't record a true full screen (weird rectangle landscape) doesn't allow us to hide the toolbar so everyone see recording and stopping... It's a mess. So unprofessional. And we teachers need to walk them through because of all the steps and settings. Our school system just purchased access to Vimeo and we are NOT getting what we paid for.
- (2024-11-04) Torri Smith: What in the love of god change did you make - reverse it ASAP - screen recording is near impossible.
- (2024-10-30) Ryan Turner: New change is absolutely horrible. The extension now opens a completely different window where you have no idea of what you're recording if you want to record over a browser or over your desktop. Not sure why they did this, but it's almost completely unusable as an alternative to Loom, etc. Why!?? Vimeo. WHY?
- (2024-10-30) Michelle P: This new change is horrible- a total disaster! I´m supposed to continue paying for something I can´t use? This is a huge disappointment...is it time to look for another tool?
- (2024-10-28) Stephan Lipp: If using the Chrome Addon, you must now start on another screen, share from there, then a pic-in-pic will open (not true pic-in-pic) that will have the "Start Recording" option and once started the end-option in it. The previous experience can be had if one installs the desktop version of the app. This shows the flag-window like we were used to where you can decide what to share and start recording. I personally preferred the previous Chrome Addon functionality as it is way quicker to get a recording started spontaneously rather than finding the app, running it, then returning to the screen. It could, however, all have to do with how Chrome / Google require certain security reviews and adherence to rules now that this route was taken.
- (2024-10-28) Nicholas Cino: Used to love it now changing my review to 1 star with the latest update. Noone wants to be taken to the vimeo site when they begin recording, bring back the classic popup widget to record our screen easily
- (2024-10-28) Nicholas Cino: Used to love it now changing my review to 1 star with the latest update. Noone wants to be taken to the vimeo site when they begin recording, bring back the classic popup widget to record our screen easily
- (2024-10-24) Marnina Diprose: What happened to the screen recording option? This was the only reason I use Vimeo over other tools.
- (2024-10-24) Michael Crowther: Like others, I was about to create a simple screen recording for a client. With the most recent update, I can't figure out how to do that. It used to be very straightforward.
- (2024-10-24) Darren Coleman: Used to work perfectly well. Now I can't even connect my camera via Mac. Oh dear.
- (2024-10-23) Sarah Creates: What have you done Vimeo? This has rendered the tool completely useless — I pay for this service and you've now hindered my business. Not acceptable to throw a change like this at us with no prior warning! Where did screen recording go?
- (2024-10-23) Shelley Upton: Dreadful update, I have no idea how to use this now. Kept getting infinite mirror screen. I'm off to find a better alternative.
- (2024-10-23) Celeste Silva: What the actual . is that.
- (2024-10-22) Tyler Brewer: New version is horrible! Please bring back the previous interface.
- (2024-10-22) Gus: Well that sure went to hell Time to get a new recorder What the hell were you thinking?
- (2024-10-22) Starlite: Change it back, this update makes vimeo useless.
- (2024-10-22) Anjali Tewari: Please bring the old version of screen recording back - this is a disaster - I had to use it 3 times before I was able to record my screen and halfway when I swapped screens the recording went black and I had to record again ( :( :( There is a saying - Dont fix what isn't broken - you have taken a perfectly working product and broken it to the point when I wanted to uninstall it yesterday as I was so frustrated :( :( PLEASE BRING BACK THE PREVIOUS VERSION !!
- (2024-10-22) Chakshu Bansal: PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS BEFORE THE UPDATE. No point of having an extension if it opens in another tab.
- (2024-10-22) Taj Uddin Ahmed: This is a rubbish update. Doesn't work perfectly. Very disgusting. The previous one was better.
- (2024-10-22) Daniel L: The new update makes this plug-in totally useless. Only records the screen in low resolution, opens a new tab, and isn't actually part of the browser anymore. Restore the prior version, please, or I will uninstall and close my Vimeo account.
- (2024-10-22) Tammy Martin: What happened to the screen recorder option?
- (2024-10-22) Adrian Zamfir: New update is a mess. Opens new tab and moves you to the website. Doesn't work very well. I do not recommend.
- (2024-10-20) Богдан Лютик: Please bring the previous version of the chrome extension back - now then it opens in new tab it is a lot worse.
- (2024-10-03) Mike Quint: Easy to use and work with
- (2024-09-28) MUHAMMAD AKMAL: Excellent
- (2024-09-27) John Henry Hullsiek: This is really good application, save our time in training our team!
- (2024-09-18) Ajay Kumar: This is really good application, we can record the session and also can save our time.
- (2024-09-12) Tana Dilosi: Total lifesaver for me when I need to train people.
- (2024-08-12) Camila: It's easy, fun and efficient.
- (2024-07-29) Tauris Nelson: Great program, easy to use and very helpful for visual learners!
- (2024-06-30) Roza Mbindo: i really like it but i wished i was able to make the videos for how long i want it so i think you guys should add an upgrade that will allow s people to make videos for how long we want but other then that it is a good screen recorder and i would recommend it ...
- (2024-06-22) せかい の 1984: 30min are you sure bro,the best upgrade
