How to get Vimeo outage alerts

  1. Create your free account. Sign in with GitHub, Google, or an emailed link on the account page — no password, no card.
  2. Add Vimeo to your alerts. The 60-second onboarding asks which providers you rely on; pick Vimeo and free email alerts are live immediately (up to 5 providers).
  3. Want it in Slack or Discord? Paid plans add those channels plus raw webhooks: create a subscription, paste your webhook URL, and press Send test to prove the wiring in seconds. The alert setup guide walks through creating the webhook URL in each app.

Why it matters

Recent Vimeo incident activity

Vimeo recorded 100% uptime across 4 monitored days in the last 90 days. The official feed logged 1 incident entry in that window — exactly the changes subscribers hear about first.

What triggers Vimeo alerts

New incident

A fresh incident appeared on the official feed and started within the last 24 hours — historical backfills never alert.

Incident update

An open incident moved through its lifecycle (investigating → identified → monitoring …).

Incident resolved

An incident was resolved upstream, or disappeared from the provider's active feed.

Status change

The provider's overall status flipped (e.g. Operational → Partial outage).

Every delivery is claimed exactly once per event, retried once on failure, and recorded — overlapping check runs can never double-notify you. Alerts are driven by Vimeo's official status source: the official Vimeo status page remains the authoritative reference.

Prefer to pull instead of push?

Everything on this page is also machine-readable, free, and account-less: subscribe to the Vimeo RSS feed, poll the JSON API, or embed the live Vimeo status badge in a README or dashboard.

FAQ

Vimeo alert questions

Short answers to what alert subscribers ask most.

How fast will I know when Vimeo goes down?

OutageDeck checks Vimeo's official status feed about every 10 minutes, around the clock. The first check that sees a new incident or a status change fires your alert immediately, so email, Slack, Discord, and webhook subscribers typically know within minutes of the official feed changing.

Are Vimeo outage alerts free?

Yes — every account includes free email alerts for up to 5 providers, no card required. Paid plans add Slack, Discord, and webhook delivery, more subscriptions, and higher API quotas.

Which Vimeo events trigger an alert?

New incidents on the official feed (when they started within the last 24 hours), incident lifecycle changes, resolutions, and provider-level status changes. A subscription can watch your whole stack, only Vimeo, or specific Vimeo services.

Can I follow Vimeo status without an account?

Yes. The Vimeo RSS feed, the public JSON API, and the embeddable status badge are free with no sign-up — alerts exist so changes get pushed to you instead of you re-checking a page.
