Two Vimeo Accounts, One PC: How to Set Up Separate Chrome, Edge or Firefox Profiles

Do you need a separate browser profile for each Vimeo account? #

If you want two different Vimeo logins open at the same moment, yes: one profile per login is the simplest tool an ordinary browser gives you. According to Vimeo's Help Center (read 3 October 2026), you move to another account by logging out and logging in again, and the login link sends an already logged-in visitor to the homepage. A profile removes that constant swapping, because it carries its own cookies, and cookies are what keep a login alive. If a single login with team switching already covers your case, you need none of this; the multi-login guide explains that route, and what a browser profile is covers the basics.

What lives in the profile, and what stays with the account? #

A private window or a VPN does a different job from a profile; the comparison guide sets out the differences.

Set up one profile per account in Chrome or Edge #

1. Create a profile. In Chrome, select Profile at the top right, then Add Chrome profile, and pick a name, photo and colour scheme. In Edge, select the profile icon at the upper right, then Manage profile settings and Add profile.
2. Think about sync. Chrome says that signing in with a Google Account lets you keep bookmarks, passwords and settings in that account and reach them on other devices. For a client's Vimeo account, decide whose Google Account belongs in that profile.
3. Name it before you do anything else; suggestions are below.
4. Log in. In that profile open vimeo.com/log_in, enter the email and password and select Log in with email, or use the Facebook, Google or Apple button if that is how the account was created.
5. Confirm the account. The avatar menu shows your name and email. If you have not yet, switch on two-factor authentication in Security Settings, by email code or authenticator app.
6. Repeat per account, and never log in to a second account inside the same profile.

Vimeo details that matter when you do this #

• Forgot your password. Vimeo says the link works only while you are logged out of every Vimeo account, so request the reset in the profile that owns the account, and click only the newest email if you asked more than once.
• How the account was created. Vimeo says there are several ways to log in depending on how you signed up. Duplicates often begin with the Facebook, Google or Apple prompts, so check which Google account the browser offers. Vimeo's sign-up page prefers email sign-up because it keeps access independent of any social account.
• Browsers. The System Requirements page lists Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, current and two previous major versions for playback, and the latest versions for the vimeo.com website.
• Shared computers. Vimeo's Terms say that on a computer others can use, you must log out after each session. A profile folder holds login cookies, so treat any copy like a password.
• Mobile. The same page lists the Vimeo app for Android 8.0 and iOS 16, which no browser profile can run.

Naming, hand-over and backups #

Naming. Name each profile after the account and its owner, such as Vimeo · ACME · Linh, and give each client one colour so a glance tells you which window you are in.

Hand-over. Giving a profile folder to a colleague also hands over its login cookies. Use a team role or an ownership change instead, as the roles guide explains. When a profile is retired, log out in it first and then delete it (in Chrome, select the profile, then More and Delete; in Edge, use the ellipsis next to the profile and choose Remove).

Backups. Two different things need saving:

• The account's videos. Vimeo says the video owner or a team member on a paid account can download their own videos from the video settings page, one at a time with no bulk option, and that deleted videos stay recoverable in Recently deleted for 30 days.
• The profile folder. Chromium's documentation says each profile is a subfolder of the user data directory; the Chrome default on Windows is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data.

Signs that plain profiles are no longer enough #

No setup changes what Vimeo's rules allow or how it treats an account.

If a profile misbehaves #

• You are logged out every time the browser closes. Chrome says deleting cookies may sign you out of sites, so check whether cookies are cleared on exit, then read why Vimeo keeps logging you out.
• The wrong account is open in the wrong window. Log out there, log in with the intended email, and rename the profile so it cannot happen again.
• A second account you never meant to create. See the multi-login guide; Vimeo cannot merge accounts.
• Forgot your password does nothing. You are probably still logged in. Log out of Vimeo in that profile and request the reset again.

Where ADSSPEED fits #

ADSSPEED is a Windows and macOS desktop app built around browser profiles. Every profile has its own cookies, local data and browser settings, so the Vimeo accounts you manage stay signed in next to each other instead of replacing one another. You can open, stop and organise profiles in bulk, set a proxy on one profile or assign it to many at once, and keep profile data on your own computer. For tasks that need the Vimeo app, Android phone profiles each carry their own device configuration. Setup is in installing ADSSPEED on Windows. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with Vimeo.
