User reviews

Users widely report that Vimeo Record was once a user-friendly and reliable screen and webcam recorder integrated into Chrome. However, recent updates transformed the extension into a confusing, less functional tool that redirects recording to Vimeo's website, causing black or partial screen captures, microphone issues, and a complicated multi-step process. This drastic change breaks the previous seamless in-browser recording experience, leading users to uninstall the extension or switch to alternatives. Overall, users express strong dissatisfaction with the update and urge Vimeo to restore the prior version's usability.

Pros

The extension was previously very easy and straightforward to use for screen recording.
Used to work well with good user experience and functionality.
Previously allowed recording a browser tab with webcam overlay easily.
Was helpful for educators and students for independent recording.
Integrated screen and webcam recording with simple controls in earlier versions.

Cons

Recent updates have made the extension confusing and difficult to use.
No longer allows direct recording of the desired screen or browser tab; recording redirects to Vimeo website.
Recordings often result in black screens or partial captures instead of full screens.
Microphone and camera recording functionality is broken or difficult to enable.
The new workflow is cumbersome, requiring multiple steps and switching tabs, harming usability.
Extension essentially acts as a mere link to Vimeo's website, rendering it almost useless as a Chrome addon.
Support and communication from Vimeo regarding these changes is lacking.
Update has led users to seek alternative screen recording tools due to degraded experience.

this thing is so un-user friendly. Why can't I just record the screen I"m looking at, with my face in the corner? That's all I want to do! I remember I used to be able to do that in Vimeo, maybe like years ago? Now, I have no idea how! It keeps forcing the screen back to vimeo, instead of the screen I want to record. It's just so confusing, I honestly hate it. Vimeo, please fix this!

Essa atualização ficou ruim, 0 praticidade, pois não é mais possível gravar a tela imediatamente; ter que acessar uma nova aba, compartilhar tela e aí sim, finalmente começar a gravação, é bem disfuncional. Acredito que os usuários, assim como eu, prezavam pela facilidade dessa extensão. A opção pra não perder nada, seria iniciar a gravação antes, e utilizar os pouquíssimos 30 minutos. Muito ruim. Não deveriam ter alterado o que já estava bom. Terei de usar outra ferramenta.

Used to be great, really easy to use, but now crippled to a max of 3 videos on the free plan, and the extension doen't even work anymore. It launches into the Vimeo site with a black video box, starts recording on the Vimeo page (not the site I actually want to record) and when switiching to the tab I need to record, the extension records nothing. Uploads a black video. Uninstalling as this is now completely useless.
