Vimeo
Connect your Vimeo account once and publish a webinar’s recording to it from the webinar’s After tab: the title, a description with chapter timestamps, chapters in the Vimeo player, captions from the transcript, tags from the recording’s topics, the privacy you choose and a folder. The Vimeo video can then be the Watch on demand link in recaps, the team share kit and the Content Gallery. The same connection lists your Vimeo videos in Media → Discover, so you can bring them into Media to transcribe and clip.
Why use it
Section titled “Why use it”If your organization hosts its videos on Vimeo, your webinar recordings should land there too, with the player, privacy and embed settings you already use. Sessionboard adds the chapters and captions on the way out and keeps your follow-up pointing at that video.

Publish a webinar recording
Section titled “Publish a webinar recording”On the webinar’s After tab, under Publish the recording, click Publish to Vimeo once the recording is in Media. The form is filled in from the recording:
- Title and Description: the webinar’s title, and its description followed by a Chapters list of timestamps.
- Tags: the topics found in the recording.
- Privacy: Unlisted, Public or Private (Vimeo calls private Only me). Unlisted needs a paid Vimeo plan.
- Folder: any folder in the account, or none.
- Upload captions from the transcript: adds a caption track built from the recording’s transcript.
- Add the chapters to the Vimeo player: creates one Vimeo chapter per chapter of the recording.
- Use this video as the on-demand link: see below.
Click Publish to Vimeo. The upload runs in the background, so you can leave the page; the row shows its progress, then Open on Vimeo when it is done. See Follow up after a webinar.
Use the Vimeo video as the on-demand link
Section titled “Use the Vimeo video as the on-demand link”Turn on Use the Vimeo video as the on-demand link on a published video and the recaps, the CSV export, the team share kit’s Watch on-demand button and the Content Gallery link to it instead of the recording page. A private video cannot be the on-demand link, because the people you send it to could not open it.
Publish automatically
Section titled “Publish automatically”Turn on Publish automatically when the recording arrives on the After tab and pick Vimeo and a privacy. When the provider’s recording has come into Media and been transcribed, it is published with the filled-in title, description, chapters, tags and captions.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- The Vimeo account has no upload space left: free space in Vimeo or upgrade the plan, then click Try again.
- The video host refused the upload: the message says why Vimeo refused it, for example a privacy setting the plan does not include. Change it and publish again.
- The account refused our sign-in: reconnect Vimeo in Apps.
- Chapters or Captions did not go through: the video is up; add them in Vimeo, or publish again.
- The upload stopped: click Try again. The upload continues from where it stopped.
