Vimeo’s search is limited to metadata — titles, descriptions, and tags.
It does not search what’s actually said inside videos.
That means:
Key insights in recordings are hidden
Teams waste time scrubbing videos
Video libraries become hard to use at scale
The Real Solution: AI Video Search
To search inside videos, you need to:
Transcribe audio → text
Index the transcript
Enable semantic (AI) search
This turns videos into a queryable knowledge base.
What This Enables
Search spoken words inside videos
Ask questions and get answers with timestamps
Skip manual video review
Turn Vimeo into a real knowledge system
Example Approach
Tools like CustomGPT.ai connect to Vimeo, process videos, and make the content searchable using AI.
