What can a Vimeo URL contain?

Letters and numbers only, Vimeo says. It doesn't publish a length limit; one guide says 3 to 30 characters.

Character	Allowed?
Letters a to z	Yes
Numbers 0 to 9	Yes
Underscores, hyphens, periods, spaces	No

Check the name above, with the .com and YouTube.
Go to vimeo.com, select Join, and enter your name, email and a password, or use Google.
Answer or skip the survey, then choose a plan. A custom URL needs a paid one.
Verify your email address.
In account settings, open the Profile tab and set your address under Vimeo URL.^{[1, 3]}

Vimeo has a free plan, but a custom URL needs a paid one. Prices are per seat, in US dollars.

Vimeo is also rolling out a Professional plan gradually; its help page gives no price.^{[5, 9]}

Custom URLs are first come, first served, and a trademark doesn't reserve one for you.

Fact	What it means
First come, first served	Vimeo issues custom URLs to whoever claims them first
Trademarks	Owning a trademark doesn't give you the matching URL
Refunds	Full refund within 14 days of a yearly plan, or 3 days of a monthly one
Downgrades	They start at your next renewal date

Most problems are a taken URL or a free account, which can't set one.

You can't set a custom URL	Free accounts can't; choose a paid plan
Someone uses your trademark as a URL	Report it with Vimeo's trademark form
A bot check blocks sign-up	Turn off any VPN or proxy and try again
