New in the portal is the ability to stream to Vimeo! You need to have the Vimeo Live feature, so head over to the Vimeo site for a trial or to sign up for Vimeo Live.
Look for the Vimeo logo in the One-Touch Destination section:
Once you select Vimeo, you will need to accept LiveU Solo having some access to your Vimeo account:
Once you accept that, you can setup a new stream to Vimeo, including setting the privacy settings for this stream:
And then you are ready to stream to Vimeo!

Will I be able to chose schedules events in the future?
Hi when I try to go live with Vimeo I get this error: "Go check out premium options for Vimeo Live stream here and then come back"
But I'm already Premium and have access to live features. Where I'm wrong?
Thanks
Tom I escalated this to a case for you, so we can investigate.
Hi there- following this thread as we really need this feature too, what's the latest?
I tried this yesterday with no luck. Would really like to use Vimeo.
If you tell me that is an important feature for you, I will add it to the to-do list right now!
They are adding features faster then we can keep up! but no problem will queue this up too and get it on the roadmap.
Hi. I am looking at buying the liveu solo this week with the purpose of streaming to vimeo. But I need to be able to chose an already schedule event. Is this possible yet with live u solo
? Thank you
Hi Again Daniel, Vimeo have now announced recurring streams - this is so important as my clients need only embed once and I can stream to that webpage over and over again, they never need to change the embed code. I can setup a stream for each client and know if I stream to that destination it will stream to their facebook, their website and vimeo. If for any reason the solo goes down due to poor signal as soon as I restart it goes to that same destination and not a new stream url.
My killer feature on my Solos would be to simply choose from portal which of my recurring Vimeo destinations I want to stream to, my life couldn't be simpler. This is what they say:
Horacio we hear from Vimeo they are working on the API for it, as soon as they have one we will support it!
Thanks Daniel, that would be great. I like that I can schedule an event on Vimeo and also chose to have it stream to Facebook as well as Vimeo. Being able to select the event from the LiveU portal would be great!!!
Not under construction quite yet but still on the roadmap. Still thinking mid to late summer as outlined above.
Just as a follow up to this, as well as scheduled events it would be very, very handy to be able to stream to channels when Vimeo release it - which I believe will be in the next couple of months.
------------------------
From Vimeo:
This is soon going to change with the release of Channels for Vimeo Premium before the year ends. This capability will then allow for a permanent embed code that can be used multiple times.
I don't have a firm ETA for when the static embedded player will be available, but we'll be making an announcement once they are ...we're aiming to have static RTMP/embedding out the door by the end of the year.
Any word on when we will be able to stream to events in Vimeo? Just got the LIVE U but I'm really disappointed that I can't stream to an already created event. Is it possible to stream to the RTMP of a vimeo event?
Thanks,
Horacio
ianmahon1 not quite yet, we are working on it. Probably mid to later summer.
Ok duly noted!
