You must have at least a Vimeo Pro Account in order to be able to use the Vimeo Integration Tool in the MAZ dashboard. You will also need to have channels setup on your Vimeo account and be following your channels to populate in the MAZ dashboard. 

To follow a channel, open the menu on the top right of the Vimeo navigation, select your brand's icon, then Collections. From the Collections screen, click into the channel, then select 'Follow'.

1. Connect your Vimeo Account to the MAZ Dashboard

  1. Navigate to Content in the MAZ dashboard

  2. Select +New, +Integration, and then Vimeo.

  3. On the setup screen, connect your Vimeo account. You will be navigated to an external link to sign into Vimeo.

Now, Vimeo can be found as a folder in "My Content". All of your Vimeo Channels are now available to be added to the App Creator.

Make your videos private

You can add following Privacy settings to Vimeo videos :
1- People I follow
2- People I choose
3- People with password
4- Only me

By this way your videos will remain private and will not be shared.

Sort your channel videos

Now, you can also sort the channel videos with the sorting options available in our dashboard. After you have added the feed from the Vimeo folder to your section/menu under App Creator, all you need to do is go to the same channel in your Vimeo folder under Content > My Content and choose your sorting option.

Here are the sorting options available in the dashboard:

  • added - sort the results by date added.

  • Alphabetical - sort the results alphabetically.

  • comments - sort the results by number of comments.

  • date - sort the results by creation date.

  • duration - sort the results by duration.

  • likes - sort the results by number of likes.

  • manual - sort the results as arranged in Vimeo dashboard.

  • modified_time - sort the results by last modification.

  • plays - sort the results by number of plays.

Please note: If no sorting is applied then default sorting is set to "Date" when the video was uploaded on the Vimeo dashboard.
