Vimeo's Free plan now allows unlimited public videos and 3 GB for embeddable and private videos, up from 1 GB. Screen recordings still stop at 30 minutes.


On October 7, 2026, Vimeo announced a new Free plan.[^blog] Free users can now share as many public videos as they like, as long as embedding is off. Embeddable and private videos get 3 GB of storage, up from 1 GB. Vimeo also removed the "Created with Vimeo" watermark from videos, screen recordings and GIFs exported from its editor, and made auto-captions and translation free. A press release on October 13 said the plan applies to all new and existing Free users except those in Italy and Austria.[^release]

For screen recording, Vimeo's help center says new recordings made with Vimeo Record count toward the storage limit.[^help] Recordings default to Unlisted, so they count toward the 3 GB unless you make them public with embedding turned off. Free recordings are still limited to 30 minutes each, and Vimeo's screen recorder page says Free recordings carry a Vimeo watermark when embedded.[^recorder]
