What is the point of liking a video?

Liking a video is a simple way to let other Vimeans know that you enjoy their work. Once you look around Vimeo, you'll quickly start to find videos that you enjoy. By liking a video, you're helping to promote content to your followers, and you're also giving the creator of the video a warm fuzzy. Liking a video is also a great way to store that video in your My Likes section so you can rewatch it later.

Can I link to specific spots in a video from a comment?

You can use timestamps to send a viewer right to a specific section of your video. For example, writing "2:32" in the description will send a viewer to the two-minute, 32-second mark after the video loads. 

Click here to learn how to create a URL that will automatically start playing a certain part of your video.

Please be aware that this does not work for Vimeo On Demand videos.
