Schedule posts to Vimeo: limits, media rules and setup
Vimeo is a video or photo site. Publaro publishes there directly, with 5,000 characters per post and the platform's own media rules checked for you.
Publaro publishes to Vimeo directly
Posts go to Vimeo through its official API, at the time you schedule them. If Vimeo does not answer after a post was sent, Publaro marks it "check needed" instead of sending it again, so a post never goes out twice.
