Hi Mike
Thanks. Yes, that’s what we thought too!
But Vimeo tell us that they do not allow you to embed and monetise their feeds on other platforms (presumably because they want you use their OTT plan).
They say:
We may restrict bandwidth or charge extra for the following uses of our player or video hosting tools (which should generally occur via our APIs (as defined below)):
(1) plays on third-party sites without using our embeddable video player;
(2) plays within third-party apps (e.g., mobile or connected TV apps);
(3) plays when our player is connected to a third-party payment solution; or
(4) plays when our player is connected to a third-party advertising solution.
So that’s what prompted my enquiry. At the moment lots of people are still flying under the radar using a Vimeo pro plan but we're looking to ensure we're on top of the alternatives if or when they decide to enforce the above.
In the case that we need to migrate or move away from Vimeo (and clearly explain why to people) we're keen to have some reasonable alternatives to propose for this eventuality.
Cheers,
Alex
