For hosting and linking to your site? Yeah, definitely.

I’ve used them for a while but hoping for something cheaper (i know i know)

I recommend it and purchase a plan so you can customize the UI and remove the vimeo branding. It’s annoying and dumb those features have a paywall but worth it for cohesion.

Also make sure you change the settings in the player to loop after the video plays. Nothing is uglier than seeing the default “you may also like” content pop up on your site afterwards

I have 3 free Vimeo accounts since I ran out of storage lol

Yeah, when they changed that it screwed me. Never used to be a limit. So my main account has loads. But needed another to top up with new videos. No need to pay a sub for it yet

Yes and then connect them into your squarespace (or equivalent) site.

Yes. Sometimes I see people linking YouTube or some other site for their work and it seems super unprofessional, especially for art directors.

Yup. 100%. MUCH better than YouTube.

Yes although their various privacy embed settings are very stupidly thought-through. Dunno if frame.io is better but try before you buy

Always. I haven’t shelled out for the premium version, which has some nice features, but definitely use Vimeo over YouTube. Some people host videos directly on Squarespace but I’ve found that can cause buffering issues at times.

What’s wrong with a free YouTube account? It’s embedded into my portfolio site.

I’ve seen people linking YouTube a YouTube video, and there’s a fucking preroll before their portfolio piece 🤣.
And also, after the video is over, sometimes it will just start playing some random video next, so then I’m served a cat meme video after the portfolio piece. It’s distracting as fuck.

Vimeo basically died for the EU and UK markets a few months ago. Search is gone, can't view videos, etc. Can't recommend it anymore.

Guys. I need your suggestion. Shall i stay here in Kolkata or return back to my home town for a month or two provided Magnet doesn't have any space. My home town is nearby. It's not commutable by road but i can come here in short notice if any. I'm currently not assigned to any project so no one checks if I go to office. I have a home here, I have updated address of this place in Kolkata. But I want to stay in my home for some more days 🥺 Salt Lake will open then I would have no option to leave
