How To: Set up Vimeo

Because the music you are using in your music videos is copyrighted, YouTube has been removing the audio from some of your videos. To get around this, any videos you want on your blog that use copyrighted music upload to Vimeo instead.

To set up a Vimeo account go to www.vimeo.com and click on the green Join Vimeo button at the top of the page. Now click on the green button on the left that says Sign up for Basic >. Type in your first & last name, email address and password in the boxes provided. I recommend you use the same details you used for your Gmail and Blogger accounts. Click the box next to ‘I understand and agree with terms of service’ then click Join Vimeo. You get taken to your account home page, if an advert to upgrade your account pops up; click the red cross in the top right to close it.

Now go to your Gmail inbox and open the email you received from Vimeo. Click on the registration link in the email. This will verify your account and take you to your account home page. You will not have two windows open showing your homepage, so close one of the windows.
