Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download a password-protected Vimeo video?
Open the video, click the downloader icon, enter the same password you use in the Vimeo player, choose your quality, and let the download finish. The MP4 will save automatically.
Can I download private or team videos?
Yes, as long as you're logged into Vimeo and have permission to view the video. The extension uses your session to access the file and never bypasses permissions.
Does it work on embedded Vimeo players?
Absolutely. Whether the player lives on vimeo.com or is embedded on a client portal or portfolio site, the extension detects it and offers the same download workflow.
How does the quality selection work?
The extension parses HLS and DASH manifests to identify every quality variant Vimeo provides for the video. You see all available resolutions from 360p up to 4K and choose the one you need.
How many videos can I download at once?
You can run up to three simultaneous downloads. Each shows its own progress bar so you can monitor status at a glance.
Does it handle adaptive streams with separate audio?
Yes. When Vimeo delivers video and audio as separate adaptive segments, the extension downloads both and merges them into a single MP4 file with synchronized playback.
Will captions or subtitles download too?
The downloader focuses on video and audio. Subtitles or caption files should be saved separately from within Vimeo if you need them.
Can I download from Vimeo showcases?
Yes. Navigate to any showcase you have access to and the extension will detect each video in the collection, letting you download them individually.
Which browsers are supported?
Builds are available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera on Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops.
