Uploading to Vimeo v2

The instructions below provide an overview.

Some pages may display differently depending on a variety of factors, however the basic process should remain the same.

In addition, there are multiple options in terms of sharing uploads directly on Social Media, adding tags, etc. These need further discussion. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions to make these instructions clearer, please do email them to admin@historyproject.org.uk.

N.B. For recommendations on preferred file types, compression, etc, see https://vimeo.com/help/compression
