VimeoAPI Plugin

VimeoAPI plugin

VimeoAPI can upload eligible self-hosted MP4 videos from AVideo to Vimeo. It does not upload embedded videos or HLS-only content, and the destination copy follows Vimeo's account, quota and privacy rules.

Setup

1. Create an application in Vimeo's current official developer dashboard.
2. Generate credentials/token with only the scopes required for authenticated private upload.
3. Enable VimeoAPI and enter client_id, client_secret and access_token.
4. Leave automaticallyUploadToVimeo off for the first manual test.
5. Upload a small self-hosted MP4, verify Vimeo processing/privacy/title, then decide whether automation is appropriate.

Keep all credentials server-side. Revoking a Vimeo token stops future uploads but does not remove videos already copied.

Common questions

Why is the upload option missing? The source must be a supported local/self-hosted MP4; HLS-only and embed items are not eligible in the current plugin.

Why does it finish in AVideo but not play on Vimeo? Vimeo performs its own asynchronous processing and policy checks.

Does deleting in AVideo delete Vimeo? Do not assume synchronization. Test and document each deletion/privacy direction.
