Vimeo - How to upload private videos

I am using the official node.js module to upload videos to Vimeo which can be found here.

I am able to upload videos without any problem. However, I find that the uploaded videos are public. Anybody can access them.

How do I make the videos private. My account has both public and private videos. I wish that the videos that I upload through my application automatically become private.

I could not find a mention of this in the API documents and in the documentation for the above Node.js module that I am using to upload videos.

Solution

  • There are two ways to do this.

    1. All uploaded videos respect your global privacy settings. This includes API uploads. You can learn more here.

    2. You can make a video private after it has been uploaded (and before, or after it has been transcoded). Check out the docs here. Specifically you want to edit the privacy.view key.
