How to Migrate from Vimeo to VideoNest in Just a Few Steps

Switching from Vimeo to VideoNest for your video hosting is fast, seamless, and gives you more control over your content, monetization, and audience. Whether you’re looking to reduce costs, boost your revenue, or take advantage of VideoNest’s built-in distribution and email tools, this guide walks you through how to move your video library over in just a few easy steps.

Step 1: Sign Up for the VideoNest Starter Plan

To begin your migration, sign up for our Starter plan — it includes everything you need to host and monetize your video content, along with powerful SEO tools and email collection features.

Step 2: Request Your Video Library as a CSV from Vimeo

Contact Vimeo Support and request a CSV export of your video library. The file should include the following details for each video:

• Video Title
• Video Description
• Video Download Link
• Publish Date
• Privacy Setting

This is a standard request and Vimeo typically fulfills it within a few business days.

Step 3: Email Your CSV to the VideoNest Team

Once you’ve received your CSV file, simply email it to us at services@videonest.co. Our team will handle the migration for you — downloading your videos, preserving your metadata, and uploading everything into your new VideoNest dashboard.

Note: Be sure to include the email address associated with your VideoNest account in your message so we can match everything correctly.

Step 4: Upload New Content Directly to VideoNest

After your migration is complete, you’ll be able to manage and upload all future content directly through the VideoNest platform. We support fast uploads, embeddable video players, and automatic distribution tools to help your content go further.

Step 5: Cancel Your Vimeo Plan

Once you're confident everything has been moved over and set up on VideoNest, you're free to close your Vimeo account and stop paying for unused services.
