How to cancel Vimeo

Cancel if you subscribed on the web

• Sign in at vimeo.com.
• Go to Billing → Membership plan → Cancel subscription.
• Follow on-screen prompts to confirm; you will retain access until the end of your billing cycle.
• Reference: Cancel my subscription.

Cancel if you subscribed via mobile (iOS/Android)

• Subscriptions purchased through Apple App Store must be cancelled in your Apple account subscriptions; you cannot cancel from Vimeo's website.
• Subscriptions purchased through Google Play must be cancelled in Google Play subscriptions; you cannot cancel from Vimeo's website.
• See the mobile FAQ: Managing mobile in-app subscriptions.

Contacting Vimeo support

• If you need help with a web purchase or refund request, contact Vimeo support via the Help Center or account support options.
• Keep records of cancellation steps and confirmations for any follow-up.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel a web subscription, access to paid features continues until the end of the current billing period. You will not be charged after that period ends.

Billing and renewals

Auto-renewal is stopped on cancellation for web purchases. For in-app purchases, stopping auto-renew requires cancelling through Apple or Google Play.

Account and data

Cancelling a subscription does not delete your Vimeo account or remove uploaded videos by default.

If you wish to delete your account, separate account-deletion steps are required and any in-app subscriptions must still be cancelled through the app store used to buy them.

Will I get a refund?

Your consumer rights in Nigeria

Rights overview

Users in Nigeria are covered by Vimeo's stated refund policy for web purchases: 3 days for monthly plans and 14 days for annual plans, or longer where local law requires.

In-app purchases are governed by Apple or Google Play policies and follow those platforms' refund procedures in Nigeria.

How to escalate issues

• Document all cancellation attempts, confirmation messages, and receipts.
• If Vimeo or an app store does not resolve a refund or billing dispute, escalate to local consumer protection authorities in Nigeria with your documented evidence.
• Consider contacting your payment provider to dispute an unauthorized charge if other routes fail.

Customer experiences

Positive experiences

• Many users praise Vimeo for reliability, fast uploads, and flexible video settings.
• Long-time users often highlight Vimeo as a dependable platform for professional video hosting.

Negative experiences

• Common complaints include perceived high pricing and slow or unresponsive customer service.
• There are reports of difficulties cancelling in-app subscriptions, unwanted auto-renew charges, and delays in receiving refunds.

Documentation checklist

Essential account details

• Vimeo account email and username.
• Order number or invoice reference from your purchase.

Proof and communication

• Payment receipts, bank or card statements showing the charge.
• Screenshots of cancellation confirmations, subscription pages, and any error messages.
• Copies of messages exchanged with Vimeo, Apple, or Google support including dates and reference numbers.

Common mistakes

Assuming deleting the app cancels subscription

Some users delete the Vimeo app expecting subscriptions to stop. Deleting the app does not cancel Apple or Google in-app subscriptions.

You must cancel in the account (Apple/Google) that billed the subscription to stop renewals.

Cancelling the wrong place or not saving confirmation

Users sometimes try to cancel on vimeo.com when the subscription was bought through the App Store or Google Play.

Always confirm the purchase channel and save cancellation confirmations; without them you may face billing disputes.

Missing refund windows

Waiting too long to request a refund is a common error. Web refunds are strictly limited (3 days for monthly, 14 days for annual) unless local law provides more time.

Act promptly and provide proof when requesting refunds to improve chances of success.
