Vimeo is an online video platform, not unlike YouTube, that allows users to watch and share videos from and with other users around the world.

However, there are more guidelines for uploading to Vimeo than there are on YouTube. For example, you can't upload movie or music clips unless you own them. And depending on what type of account you have, there are different limits on how much you can upload each week.

If you'd like to upload a video to Vimeo, here's how.
