What won't work on Vimeo
- Password-protected videos. The page loads normally and then asks for a password we don't have — ask the owner for a link without one.
- Private, unlisted-with-login, and members-only videos.
- Embed-only videos that are locked to a specific website.
- Videos deleted since the link was shared.
Check before you spend a credit: Open the link in a private/incognito window. That window is signed out, exactly like our servers — if it plays there, we can transcribe it.
If a transcript does fail, the credit goes back automatically — every failed transcript is refunded.
