Your Vimeo videos will keep playing while your Vimeo account is active; if it’s turned off, those embeds stop. We import your library into Dacast as new assets, and the URLs aren’t auto-linked. For SEO, links that point to vimeo.com can’t be redirected to Dacast—the practical fix is updating your site’s pages/templates with the new embeds. If links live on your own domain, your developer (or agency) can add 301s and refresh the sitemap; we’ll provide a simple checklist and coordinate with your team. We can also recommend easy tools to spot and clean up any 404s after cutover.

Today we move the highest-quality video file plus its title and description into Dacast. If you need captions, thumbnails, chapters, or other metadata, we’ll review your library and scope options to bring these over. For bulk moves, we can import an entire Vimeo Showcase or your whole Vimeo library via API. If you want to migrate a specific set by video IDs, we currently process those one at a time, and we can discuss a simple list-based import if that suits your project.

Most mid-size moves (around 250-500 videos) complete in about 24-48 hours. Smaller libraries often finish faster; very large or complex setups can take longer, depending on approvals and how content is organized. Timelines are mainly influenced by access to the source account, naming/organization of your videos, and a few edge cases that may need extra attention near the end.

Direct migration of subscriber/PPV records and entitlements isn’t available today. We’ll help you relaunch your paywall on Dacast to re-onboard your audience.

Dacast offers 24/7 live, human support from in-house experts-never outsourced to third-party call centers. We commit to 99.9% monthly availability, up to 4 hours/month of scheduled maintenance, service credits (10% / 25% / 50%), timely incident notifications, and a termination right if availability drops below 98% for three consecutive months. By comparison, Vimeo Enterprise states 99.90% uptime with 10% / 25% credits and credits as the sole remedy.

If your team is in North America, we keep your video and account data on North American infrastructure by default so content stays close to your operations. Other regions can be discussed if your policy requires them. We support GDPR standards and maintain activity logs of key actions in your account (e.g., uploads, modifications, restriction changes). If you need a specific compliance review, just reach out and we’ll align the setup to your requirements.

Yes. Dacast delivers video worldwide through top-tier global CDNs. We also offer a China Delivery Feature for reliable playback inside Mainland China through a licensed ICP.

You can go live with standard RTMP encoders, offer DVR so viewers can pause/rewind, auto-record events to publish as VOD right after, simulcast to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch (or any RTMP destination), and set a backup stream URL so you can switch quickly if the primary has issues-all built in.

You can build and automate with our REST Video API, Player API, and documented SDKs. You’ll find guides for content management, player control, and mobile app integration (iOS/Android), plus docs on embedding via our Node/PHP SDKs. You can also use Dacast’s MCP server, live now, which exposes Dacast’s docs, API reference, and SDK recipes through the Model Context Protocol so LLMs can pull authoritative answers for tasks like creating live streams, add simulcast destinations, or creating/updating a playlist amongst other features.

You can select the metrics you need from your historical Vimeo analytics and receive them as a CSV by email. We don’t currently offer an automatic import into Dacast, but if this matters to you, reach out and we’ll support the best practical path to keep those records alongside your new reporting. To complement that, we’re expanding Dacast analytics to focus on playback quality, engagement, audience breakdowns, and live concurrency so you can quickly understand viewing behavior and spot issues.

We offer monthly and annual plans - choose month-to-month for flexibility or a single annual payment for best value. Monthly plans can be canceled after the first 90 days; annual plans follow the commitment term shown at signup (ask us for details). If you’re mid-contract with Vimeo, our team can facilitate the transition between contracts so you don’t pay twice or lose continuity. We can also set you up with a smaller plan during the onboarding phase and upgrade your account when it’s ready for regular use. Talk to an expert today, and we’ll map the cleanest path.

Eligible Vimeo switchers get a $100-$500 coupon at checkout on your first year subscription, plus one month free added to your subscription to give you the extra time to migrate and set up your account. The coupon value depends on the plan level, can’t be combined with other promos, and is time-limited. Have a Vimeo account and moving over? Claim your code at signup - we’ll apply the free month once your plan is active.

The switcher incentive (1 month free + $100–$500 coupon on your first year subscription) is designed for Vimeo customers who are moving their video workflow over to Dacast and don’t yet have a paid Dacast subscription. If you’re new to Dacast or currently on a free trial, you can use the coupon when you pick your first paid plan. Existing paying Dacast customers aren’t eligible for this promo, and the incentive can’t be combined with other discounts or offers. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, reach out to our team and we’ll help you check.

If you qualify for the Vimeo switcher incentive, start on our dedicated landing page and click on the “Claim My Switch Offer” button to get started. You’ll be taken to our pricing page, where you choose the plan you want for your first-year subscription and create your Dacast account. At checkout, enter your switcher coupon code in the “Add coupon code” field (switch100 / switch150 / switch500). The $100–$500 discount (depending on your plan level) will be applied to your first-year subscription total, as described in the switcher incentive above.

The $100–$500 coupon appears directly at checkout on your first-year subscription total, but the extra free month from the switcher incentive does not show as a separate line item there. First, complete your signup and apply your switcher coupon as usual. Once your plan is active, your Customer Success agent will add the additional free month on our side, extending your next billing date by one month. This gives you extra time to migrate from Vimeo and set up your account without paying again sooner. If you want confirmation, just ask support to verify your adjusted renewal date after activation.
