How to Post a Vimeo Video on Instagram FAQs

Why could I not find the Download option when I tried using Vimeo’s official website to download a Vimeo video?

On the Vimeo official website, creators have a right to their videos. This would mean that a creator of a particular video can make it inaccessible to the public.

It is in this kind of situation that you will not be able to access the download option for the video.

This is the major difference between the Vimeo official website and other video downloading apps.

Apps for video download will download any video whether or not the creator permitted the download. The good side of this will be unrestricted access to Vimeo videos.

The bad side of this is the fact that a video can be penalised for copyright issues in the future.

Is there a means of directly sharing a video from Vimeo to Instagram?

Actually, there is.

Some apps can allow a merger between two applications on your device. This way, Vimeo videos can be directly uploaded to your Instagram account.

An example of an app that can enable this is the Zappier app.

The first thing to do is to verify the two applications.
Make one of the apps the initiator of the process. In this case, it will be the Vimeo account.

Make the other the recipient of the action (Instagram).
Decide the file to be shared, and a direct connection and data sharing will take place.

Conclusion

As an Instagram user who is a fan of posting video content as well as a fan of watching Vimeo videos, these two hobbies can be merged to produce amazing content and effect on your Instagram account.

Just have your Vimeo video downloaded. Afterwards, post these videos to your Instagram page and enjoy having a quality feel on your Instagram account.
