The Basics
These are the items you will need to start setting up your Vimeo OTT site.
- 1
-
Your video content
These all need to be compressed to our recommended specs.
- 2
-
Video descriptions
A short description for each uploaded video.
- 3
-
Trailers
We recommend hosting your trailer or teasers on YouTube to further your social reach. When ready, plug the URL into the Product edit page, like this.
Tip: Put your website address somewhere in the trailer video and your website link in the YouTube description.

-
Product/Subscription descriptions
Products are bundles of your video content that get sold. Write descriptions of each Product being sold and what items it includes on the product edit page.
- 5
-
16:9 Product image
You should think of a representative image that fits your Product well. The file should be 16x9 aspect to fit the embeddable Video Widget frame. Add the Product image on the Product edit page.
Tip: Prep your images to be wider than they are tall. A 16:9 aspect ratio works best all over Vimeo OTT.

-
Facebook page and Twitter account
Connect these to your Vimeo OTT site to encourage sharing. You can link them up on your Site settings page.
