Get creative with your Zoom recordings with the Vimeo editor. Easily add text overlays to highlight key points and draw attention to important updates or action items. You can customize the font, size, and style based on your brand guidelines for a professional finish.
With the Vimeo video editor, you can also add voiceovers and commentary to recordings.

Use Vimeo AI to summarize your Zoom recording, generate a video title and description, and more
Use Vimeo AI’s features to automatically generate video titles, tags, chapters, and video text summaries, saving you time on manual work. These capabilities are included in Vimeo Advanced plans and higher.
You can also condense lengthy Zoom recordings into actionable insights with shorter video highlight reels, and use Vimeo’s Ask AI feature located right in the video player to get specific information about the video!
Search video recordings using Vimeo’s auto transcriptions
Finding a specific moment in a meeting or webinar can be frustrating, especially if it’s a long recording. Vimeo makes it easy by automatically transcribing every upload — find that key quote with a simple text search.
In Vimeo, you can also activate automatic captions, and Enterprise users can translate subtitles or dub your recording into multiple languages to help team members across locations access and understand key content.
Share and collaborate on Zoom recordings securely
Making sure the right people have access to the right recordings is simple with Vimeo’s Zoom integration. Choose exactly who can see videos with Vimeo’s privacy settings: Share with specific team members or clients, or hide it from everyone but you. You can also put videos behind a password to safeguard confidential information.
Uploading Zoom video recordings to Vimeo allows teams to collaborate more closely. Collaborators can add time-stamped notes right inside videos and @mention colleagues. Try activating Slack or email notifications to let people know when someone leaves a comment.
