Vimeo On Demand is shutting down. What can video creators use instead?
Vimeo has announced that Vimeo On Demand — its product for selling and distributing video — is being retired. Vimeo itself is not shutting down; the selling product is. If you use Vimeo On Demand to charge for access to videos, this changes where those sales happen.

Who this affects
Anyone who currently charges viewers through Vimeo On Demand: creators selling premium videos, tutorials and lessons, private or members-only content, shows and video series, and educational video products.
If you only host or embed video on Vimeo without selling through Vimeo On Demand, the selling wind-down doesn't apply to that hosting.
What you can do with VideoLink
VideoLink.to lets you keep selling the same video products from your own link. You add the video, set the price, and share one videolink.to address that buyers pay through; access is delivered by SayEase's existing fulfillment system.
SayEase charges a 0% platform fee on ordinary seller sales. Stripe's payment-processing fees still apply.
Questions creators are asking
- Is Vimeo shutting down?
- No. Vimeo On Demand, the selling and distribution product, is being retired. That is a different thing from Vimeo the video platform.
- When do Vimeo On Demand sales stop?
- Per Vimeo's announced timeline, new uploads stop on August 22, 2026 and new purchases and subscriptions stop on September 21, 2026, with the product shutting down on November 20, 2026.
- Where can I sell my videos after that?
- VideoLink.to is one option: you create a link for the video, set a price and share it. There is no separate website to build.
Keep selling your videos
Create a VideoLink for the video products you're already selling and move your audience to a link you control.
