Using the Vimeo Video Service with Circle

Vimeo is a video streaming service that hosts a wide variety of public and private content, ranging from all-ages educational content to mature, "not safe for work" videos.

While Vimeo bans pornography, some of the content available on Vimeo does include nudity and other content families may deem objectionable.

For this reason, Circle has classified Vimeo as a Mature website meaning that it lives in the Mature filter category. The Mature filter category is only available at the Adult Filter Level. Read more about Filter Levels to learn more.

To allow Vimeo with Circle (the easy way)

  1. Open the profile you want to allow Vimeo for and select Filter.
  2. Change the filter level at the top of the filter settings to Adult.
  3. Ensure that the Mature category is set to Allowed.
  4. Review the other settings and restrict any content you do not want to allow for that profile that may have been enabled by the filter level change.

Once that profiles has used Vimeo for a while, it is possible to add the Vimeo app directly to your filter settings.

  1. Open the Usage for that profile and locate Vimeo in the list of apps that were used.
  2. Tap and select the option you want. All options will add Vimeo to your list of apps / websites in the Filter and Time Limit settings.

To allow Vimeo with Circle using Custom Website Filters

If setting a profile's filter level to Adult won't work for that family member, you can also use Circle's Custom Website Filters to allow Vimeo. 

  1. Open the profile you want to allow Vimeo for and select Filter.
  2. Tap the Custom Website Filters icon (funnel) at the top.
  3. Enter the following websites:
    • vimeo.com
    • vimeocdn.com
    • vimeo-video.map.fastly.net
  4. Ensure that the custom settings are saved for this profile.

Test to ensure that Vimeo can now stream properly. You may need to refresh the website once or twice for the new settings to kick in.

To block Vimeo with Circle

The process to block Vimeo with Circle is essentially the same as above but in reverse. Rather than setting things to Allowed, set them to Not Allowed.
