Before we explain how to make use of Vimeo to create an online course, we'll take a look at how Vimeo compares to YouTube.
Vimeo and YouTube?
YouTube is a popular choice for users. It's free to get started, and it's already the second (or that's third) biggest third largest search engine on the Internet. YouTube can be a fantastic option to share videos quickly, and it is a simple uploading method.
Although YouTube lets you show your video to a large audience, this may not be the best option when you're trying to secure the content you offer to your students. If you're offering premium content, it's best for just your students able to view the videos. If they're no cost and are accessible via YouTube, then anyone who owns a YouTube account can view the content and share the content with others.
Vimeo provides advanced privacy settings which allows you to lock your content to make sure only students have access to your videos. Vimeo offers videos with no advertising in mid- or pre-rolls. In contrast with YouTube, Vimeo has 24/7 help to resolve any issues or assist you in navigating the platform.
Vimeo offers a no-cost alternative. But for users, it's unlikely that you'll be able to get out of the free level. This will restrict uploading and storage options and you'll be unable to access several options available in their paid tiers. There's a popular $35/month option which gives you powerful editing tools and additional options like customized branding for videos.
