Keeping Your Videos Private
The following information was received via e-mail from Dalas Verdugo, the Community Director for Video, when I requested information for classroom privacy.
An example of how a teacher could use Vimeo to show videos to their students without showing the video to the world:
1. Sign up!
2. Use the Upload link at the top of the screen to upload your video.
3. While the video is uploading, click “Privacy” on the left-hand side of the page to adjust the privacy options.
4. The privacy options will display, showing “Public” or “Private”.
5. Choose “Private”
6. Now choose “Password protected”.
7. Set a password.
8. Make sure to click “Save all changes” in the menu on the left side.
9. Once the video is done uploading, you can send the URL link for the page where you watch the video, along with the password to your students. They don’t need to have Vimeo accounts, just the link and password. You can also embed these videos on a blog. The viewer will still need the password to watch the video.
That’s it!
