Authorize Projector for Vimeo
Projector can simplify and automate the process of uploading customized videos to your account on a streaming service of your choice. Vimeo is one of the supported services.
Streaming services won't allow Projector to deploy video for you without authorization. If you have accounts with multiple streamers, you can authorize Projector to work with any service that's supported. However, you can only deploy missions to one streaming service per project. You will need separate payloads if you want to:
- Deploy some videos in a payload to one streaming service and others to a different service
- Deploy the same videos to more than one streaming service
- Deploy some videos in a payload to one streaming service and others to a different service
- Deploy the same videos to more than one streaming service
NOTE If you have not already set up your Vimeo account, you must do so before you can authorize Projector to deploy missions to it.
Authorize Projector

Where can I find my Vimeo client ID and secret?
You can find this information in the Vimeo developer space for your account. If you don't have this access, ask the person who manages your company's Vimeo for the client ID and client secret. If you do have developer access, follow these steps.

- Click your avatar and then click API Apps.
- Click the API application you created to use with Projector. The client ID and client secret display on the page of information about the app.

NOTE If you sign out of your Vimeo account in Projector and then sign back in, you must repeat the previous steps starting with generating an auth code. Projector saves your client ID and secret in your preferences.
