Complain About Vimeo - learn how to file a complaint

Getting a response can feel like sending a message in a bottle. Here's a realistic timeline.

• Be hyper-specific. Include video URLs, invoice numbers, and the email address associated with your account.
• Use a clear subject line like "Urgent Billing Dispute" or "Appeal for Video Takedown."
• Attach evidence. Screenshots or screen recordings of the problem can shut down generic responses fast.
• State exactly what you want, whether it's a refund, an account review, or a technical fix.

If your support ticket goes into a black hole, it's time to escalate. Don't just wait around for a reply that might never come.

First, reply to your original ticket email and politely ask for your case to be escalated to a senior support specialist or manager. If that doesn't work, it's time to go external.

• Better Business Bureau (BBB): Filing a complaint with the BBB is surprisingly effective. Vimeo is an accredited business and seems to respond to most complaints filed there to protect their rating. It's not a government agency, but the public pressure works. Prepare to wait, though, as the process can take a few weeks.
• State Attorney General: If you believe Vimeo is engaged in deceptive practices, you can file a consumer complaint with your state's Attorney General. This is a more serious step for significant issues.
• Small Claims Court: For monetary disputes that Vimeo refuses to resolve (like a major wrongful charge), small claims court is your final option. It's a formal legal process, so be prepared.

Subject: Formal Complaint: Unresolved Issue with Account [[Your Account Email/ID]]

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing again to resolve an issue with my account. My previous attempt to get help on [[Date]] via ticket number [[Ticket #, if you have one]] has not resulted in a solution, and frankly, my patience is wearing thin.

On [[Date of incident]], [[describe the problem clearly and concisely, e.g., I was incorrectly billed $XX.XX for a service I had already cancelled, or my video titled 'XYZ' was removed without a clear violation of your terms]]. This has been a significant inconvenience and has disrupted my work.

To resolve this, I require you to [[state your desired outcome clearly, e.g., issue a full refund of $XX.XX to my original payment method, or immediately reinstate my video and provide a clear explanation for the takedown]].

Please be aware that if this issue is not resolved within 5 business days, my next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau and dispute the charge with my credit card provider.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

• Reference Their Own Rules: If your issue involves a video takedown or a terms of service dispute, quote their own policies back to them. It shows you've done your homework.
• Keep a Log: Note every time you contact them, who you spoke to (if possible), and what was said. A detailed timeline is powerful evidence.
• Use Public Pressure (Politely): A public post on X (Twitter) that says, "Hey @Vimeo, I've been waiting 5 days for a response to ticket #12345. Can someone please help?" is often more effective than an angry rant.
• The Reddit Tactic: One user on Reddit reported they got a faster response by replying directly to the automated "we received your ticket" email and restating the urgency. It might bypass the initial queue.
