# Vimeo Metabox

**Location:** Post editor on enabled video post types (Movies, Short Videos, Episodes)

The **Vimeo** metabox connects individual posts to Vimeo Pro/Business videos.

## Vimeo URL field

Paste a Vimeo video URL (e.g. `https://vimeo.com/123456789`) into **Vimeo URL**, then click **Load Video Data**.

When [Vimeo is connected](integrations-vimeo-oauth.md), MediaBlaster fetches:

- HLS stream URL → **Media URL**
- Duration, quality, format
- Tags and description (when [Vimeo Settings](vimeo-settings.md) allow)
- Title (when title import is enabled)
- Featured image thumbnail

Imported values populate `rovidx_smarttv_*` meta used by Roku feeds.

## Upload to Vimeo

When **Enable Vimeo Uploads** is on and OAuth is connected, an **Upload to Vimeo** panel appears:

1. Select a local video file
2. Start upload — progress polls via AJAX
3. On completion, the Vimeo URL and metadata can be loaded into the post

Requires sufficient Vimeo account storage and upload API permissions.

## Prerequisites

- **Enable Vimeo Integration** on [General Settings](general-settings.md)
- [Integrations (Vimeo OAuth)](integrations-vimeo-oauth.md) completed
- Import preferences under [Vimeo Settings](vimeo-settings.md)

## Bulk alternative

For many videos, use [Vimeo Mass Import](vimeo-mass-import.md) instead of per-post loading.
