![]() And so we only allow it to be embedded on so there’s no chance of it ever getting pulled off and put onto another site, like obviously with the internet and digital stuff like piracy can still happen, but it reduces the chances greatly. Right, we want that content locked down that is not open to the world, Vimeo is perfect for that not only can you make it private but you can actually decide what urls you will allow it to be embedded on. And so for example uh course content David and i are in the process of creating content for the WordPress and Divi Beginner Course that we just launched, and so we’ve been using Vimeo for course content. Vimeo is if you want to be able to lock it down and have more control over that. But bottom line is youtube is really geared towards if you want your content to be found if it’s for marketing purposes. ![]() So it’s just a a really really great platform to use mainly if it’s content that you’re not wanting secured in my opinion.Ġ3:51 Tim Strifler: Yeah absolutely, so i think uh bottom line, i’ll talk about Vimeo specifically. So you can do webinar type kinds of things on the platform and um you know engage with your audience and stuff in that way. Uh one of the things that i really like about the youtube platform and vimeo does this as well is you can do live streams. So we don’t want it to be indexed and stuff so for this that case we’re not really going to use youtube to to do that and stuff. No absolutely not, you can it’s just traditionally not set up this way you can have private videos where only you can see them you can have unlisted videos on youtube which won’t be indexed, but if someone has the link to the video they’re going to be able to view the content there, which isn’t technically ideal for like Tim and I, have courses that we have you know proprietary content that we don’t want floating around the internet and stuff. And so that your videos can be found and watch does it mean that you can’t put private content on YouTube. That’s your i guess the first really difference but youtube’s more of a platform for posting videos and stuff that you’re not gonna really worry about if people see them or not you’re actually wanting them to get indexed you’re wanting it to get indexed just like your website. The google actually owns youtube so um technically it’s a search engine which is a little bit different than Vimeo. There’s a lot of engagement there a lot of content creators use it to you know create and build businesses on that platform and stuff, but actually youtube is the number two search engine in the world only falling behind google, its parent company. And so David i’ll let you go first with Youtube and then i’ll talk about why Vimeo is awesome.Ġ1:49 David Blackmon: Well you may or may not know this but Youtube is technically a search engine, you may think it’s a social platform or a video platform only because it does have a community aspect to it. And we love both, we love both we use both and so really it comes down to what specifically you want to do. So Tim which one do you want to tackle Youtube or Vimeo?Ġ1:10 Tim Strifler: Um i was just using Vimeo the last two days so it’s fresh in my mind, so i’ll be happy to talk about that one.Ġ1:18 David Blackmon: I’m glad you said that because i’m a youtuber.Ġ1:23 Tim Strifler: Yeah uh so one thing i do want to say though is you know, we we titled this Youtube versus Vimeo, but one isn’t better than the other because they actually have like entirely different use cases. You may be looking for platforms to host your videos and we’re going to talk about the difference between Youtube and Vimeo specifically because those are two of the larger platforms for video posting. ![]() Obviously with more and more things moving to the online space online education is huge, schools all kinds of stuff. 00:28 David Blackmon: Welcome to another episode of WP The Podcast, my name is David Blackmon.Ġ0:38 David Blackmon: Today in episode 803 we’re going to talk about Youtube versus Vimeo for video hosting.
