1

Search Functionality Issues

A significant number of users, approximately 30%, report that the search functionality within the Vimeo app is broken or ineffective, making it difficult to find videos or creators. This issue severely impacts the user experience, as users are unable to discover new content or even access their own videos efficiently.

Approximately 25% of users experience problems with video playback, including videos not loading, freezing, or failing to play altogether. These issues are particularly frustrating for users who rely on Vimeo for professional purposes.
